The built-in facility for editing today's rain (on the Edit menu) might have worked, but changing units causes lots of problems (as warned) and I don't know if the editor would have coped. Now that it's the next day, you can edit the total in dayfile.txt (using the built-in editor). Other files (e.g. yesterday's rain in today.ini) and high records may also be affected, if so you'll need to edit those as well.

It's in today.ini. Stop Cumulus and edit the file.
