It's a bit tricky with your station as you have no logger, so you can't 'rewind'. You can get Cumulus to create the missing dayfile entry using the built-in editor. You'll have to manually edit today.ini to put in today's highs and lows so far. You can do the same for yesterday.ini, or you can just ignore it for a day and a new one will be created at the end of the day.

Thanks.

I just wonder on which event a backup folder is created by Cumulus?
I have one created at 1 o'clock this morning when i try to close or restart Cumulus. In this folder i found the monthly log file and the today.ini file from yesterday at 19h30 when i presume my PC freezes!

It creates a backup folder when it starts up, and in the later builds of 1.9.3 also just after the rollover.

Good to know.
I used this "old" today.ini file to create my missing yesterday.ini file and create the missing dayfile entry with Cumulus editor.
