As Cumulus processes each reading from your weather station, it checks that value (and any [[Correcting_Missing_Values#Derived spot values|derived]] from it) against the extremes currently stored in the relevant [[Log_files|.ini files]], and if necessary updates all records that are affected. Such record are maintained for current day in [[today.ini]], for current month in [[month.ini]], current year in [[year.ini]], for each month in all years in [[monthlyalltime.ini]] and for since you first started using Cumulus in [alltime.ini]].
