|UseWindChillCutOff=1
|UseWindChillCutOff=1
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. Purpose is to disable 'calculate [[Wind chill]] only if temperature less than 10°C rule'.
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen.   If the parameter is not included in the file, the default value is assumed.  Purpose is to disable 'calculate [[Wind chill]] only if temperature less than 10°C rule'.
*0 = Disabled, Cumulus will use any wind speed of 3 mph or more, to modify the temperature, and determine the wind chill ignoring the temperature criterion
*0 = Disabled, Cumulus will use any wind speed of 3 mph or more, to modify the temperature, and determine the wind chill ignoring the temperature criterion
*1 = Enabled (default), Cumulus will use both 10°C temperature and  3  mph wind speed criterions to determine if wind chill applies.

|ChillHourThreshold=45
|ChillHourThreshold=45
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. The temperature threshold is specified in the units that you use in Cumulus (see [[Heat/cold_degree_days_and_Chill_hours]]).  The default is 45 degrees Fahrenheit (or just over 7 degrees Celsius) if the parameter has not been included.

The temperature threshold is specified in the units that you use in Cumulus (see [[Heat/cold_degree_days_and_Chill_hours]]).  The default is exactly 45 degrees Fahrenheit (or exactly 7 degrees Celsius depending on which units you use) if the parameter has not been included.

|SnowDepthHour=9
|SnowDepthHour=9
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. This line needs to be added in the [Station] section of the Cumulus.ini, it is the [[Weather_Diary|Snow lying/falling]] roll over time (time when yesterday's values in log.xml are forgotten) - Allowed values are 0 to 23 and represent the time to the nearest hour that snow depth measurements are taken.

|RainDayThreshold=-1
|RainDayThreshold=-1
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. The threshold value which the daily rainfall has to equal or exceed for the day to be considered a 'rain day'. Default -1 = 0.2mm or 0.01in. Value is entered in your current [[Rain_measurement]] units.

|FCPressureThreshold=0.1

|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. It specifies the threshold (in mb per hour averaged over 3-hour period) for a pressure change to count as rising or falling rather than steady when determining the Zambretti forecast. The default is 0.1 mb/hr averaged over the previous three hours.

|RTdisconnectcount=N
|RTdisconnectcount=N
|This parameter (attribute=value) is added directly to the file, it does not appear on a configuration screen. By default, the 'realtime' ftp connection stays connected. You can make it disconnect periodically by adding an Option to periodically disconnect the realtime FTP connection, the theory being that it will not get stuck if the server dies, and will keep trying to reconnect.

N must be a positive integer. For example set N to '60'; it represents the number of realtime ftp uploads between disconnections - so 60 would give an hour if 1 minute realtime interval selected.
