Hi Steve
I have had all sorts of weird readings and signal losses this morning but they seems to have settled down but I have -124.5 rain since 00:00 and I cannot find where that is stored to correct it.
Regards
Alan

It sounds like your station's rain counter has been going up and down. The 'rain since midnight' figure is calculated in a similar way to the 'rain today' figure (and for people using a midnight rollover the two should be the same, but calculated in slightly different ways).
When it starts up, it scans the monthly log file to find the value that the rain counter had at midnight. It determines the current 'rain since midnight' by subtracting that figure from the current rain counter. So, if you want to try to fix it, you'll need to stop Cumulus and edit the June log file to modify the 'total rain counter' figures around midnight so that they are correct relative to the current counter.
