The files '''today.ini''' and '''yesterday.ini''' are used by Cumulus to store the Highs and Lows (and their timestamps) for key parameters as reached on each of the two days. These files are normally located in the Data sub-folder of the path where your Cumulus.exe is installed.

At the end of a day [either midnight, or 9am (or 10am) depending on your configuration and season], the final values and timestamps written to today.ini file are rolled-over to become values and timestamps in yesterday.ini; and a new today.ini is created. From the examples below you can see that the two files have a few differences in content, so rolling-over does involve a little editing work. | ||

If you restart Cumulus during the day it will read both these files at startup, so it can resume tracking extremes of the key parameters starting from latest stored values in today.ini. Equally, if you close Cumulus during the day it will write the final values for highs and lows and their timestamps to today.ini as part of the close down process. | |||
