Cumulus can't cope with being suspended, it just carries on as normal after being woken. There is an option in the station settings to 'close on suspend', so Cumulus will close itself as a safety measure, if you forget to do it manually. But I strongly recommend that you don't have your computer set to go into any form of standby while Cumulus is running - it's continuously gathering real-time data, after all, so it's a rather strange thing to do.

==My heat index (or wind chill) is the same as my temperature==
Wind chill only applies when the wind speed is above 4.8 kph and the temperature is below 10C. (The temperature cutoff is an option in Cumulus, but should really always be set).
Heat index only applies when the temperature is above 27C and the humidity is above 40%.
The rest of the time they are the same as the ambient temperature.
