'''Today's''' totals, highs and lows (and '''yesterday's rain''' total) are held in [[today.ini]] in the Cumulus data folder. Follow the cross-references if you are unsure which parameter is what. To change any values, stop Cumulus and edit the file(s) in a text editor. Be sure to keep any date and time formats the same.

If you are editing '''yesterday's highs and lows''', the totals (including RG11 rain but not standard rain), highs, and lows are held in [[yesterday.ini]]. However, you probably also need to edit [[Dayfile.txt#Editing_daily_summary_in_Cumulus|dayfile.txt]], as many of the values should have been written to that file. For this file if you are using ''Cumulus MX'' you will need to use an external text file editor (don't use a word processor), but if you are using ''Cumulus 1'' you can use the [[Cumulus_Screenshots#File.2FEdit.2FHelp_Menu|built-in dayfile editor]] to do this.
