-At rollover, the ''AvgTemp'' field in [[yesterday.ini]] holds the final integrated mean calculated by the quotient of Total over Samples in the old today.ini and the same average is written to [[dayfile.txt]]. Integrated average temperatures are available as [[webtags]] (but only for today and yesterday), the integrated mean temperature for each day and the month as a whole is output to the monthly NOAA style report,  and the lowest, actual, and highest integrated mean temperature for each month are output to the annual NOAA style report.
+At rollover, the ''AvgTemp'' field in [[yesterday.ini]] holds the final integrated mean calculated by the quotient of '''Total''' over '''Samples''' in the old today.ini and the same average is written to [[dayfile.txt]]. The integrated mean temperature for each day is also output to the monthly NOAA style report. Integrated average temperatures are available as [[webtags]] for today and yesterday.
+The average of these daily intregated means for the whole month is shown at the bottom of the monthly NOAA style report and the lowest, actual, and highest of these averages of integrated daily mean for each month are output to the annual NOAA style report. Providing Cumulus is in continuous operation, so the number of measurements in the calculation is the same for every day, the average of integrated daily means over a month is mathematically the same as an integrated mean for the whole month.
