Cumulus uses a counter supplied by the station to determine its rainfall data (exactly what that counter is, depends on the type of station). A search of the forum will help for your particular model, for example for some models there might be a counter that represents rain since station bought (or since it was reset), for some stations Cumulus will use an annual total supplied by the station (that resets each new year). | Cumulus uses a counter supplied by the station to determine its rainfall data (exactly what that counter is, depends on the type of station).

If the rain counter is reset by the station for some unexpected reason, you will have to accept that, and let Cumulus handle it - it does its best to cope when the rain counter changes unexpectedly. Assuming it doesn't change unexpectedly again, you should find that the rain figure is only affected for one day, and then you can amend if necessary subsequently as per other sub-answers here.
