=== (Invented rain) Error in Consecutive day count === | |||
Remember the consecutive day count refers to completed days, both 'ConsecutiveRainDays' and 'ConsecutiveDryDays' exclude today. | |||
The optional [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|RainDayThreshold]] parameter in Cumulus.ini determines if a minimum rainfall threshold amount is applied to what counts as a rain day. | |||
To edit the count reported by Cumulus, stop Cumulus and edit [[Today.ini#Editing_rainfall_in_today.ini_within_Cumulus| the today.ini log file]] by changing the integer value. Remember, that invented rain can affect monthly, annual, all-time, and monthly_all_time extreme records, and you may need to [[#How_do_I_correct_my_all-time_.28or_monthly_all-time.29_records.3F|edit these]]. | |||
