Use the editor in Cumulus - on the Edit menu. If you know the correct figures, you can enter them manually. To aid in this, you can look at the alltimelog.txt file (described in the wiki) to find the previous values for the all-time records. Similar entries are logged to the diags files for the monthly highs and lows. You can also get the editor to scan the data logs to find the highs and lows from the files, click the Help button for details.

You are probably using a Davis station. Cumulus needs an incrementing rain counter to calculate all of the rain figures, and the nearest to that on a Davis station is the annual total. When this resets at the end of the year, this causes some of the rain data to show odd values for a day. There's no easy solution to this, sorry. Enjoy your New Year's Day, and everything will be OK again tomorrow.
