Today's highs and lows are held in today.ini in the Cumulus data folder. Yesterday's highs and lows are held in yesterday.ini. 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, you might also need to edit dayfile.txt, as the same values will probably have been written to that file. You can uses the built-in editor in Cumulus to do this. If your all-time and/or monthly all-time records have been affected, see the FAQ entry below.

If the value you want to change is today's high hourly rain figure, it is best to wait until the current figure has returned to a sensible value. There is no easy way to correct the current figure, so if you change it in today.ini while the current figure is incorrect, the high value in today.ini will immediately be changed again when you start Cumulus.
