Yes, but you'll need to edit the data logs, in particular dayfile.txt, which holds the daily totals. The monthly and yearly totals are calculated from the individual daily totals.

Thank you Mark, I know, I should have read the manual myself!
Steve, thanks I'll have a go at editing that file when I get home from work.

I have looked at the file: dayfile.txt and i've decided to leave it alone
It's not important and will soon be insignificant once I get some "Real" weather to record.

It's not too hard - really!
Cumulus 1.9.2 has a built-in editor, so you can see which column you should be changing, and David's
Toolbox provides a similar facility.
