From the basic temperature, humidity, and wind speed, both flavours can work out dew point (if required), wind chill (if required), Canadian Humidity Index (humidex), USA Heat Index, and Australian Apparent Temperature. The actual formulas used for these calculations vary (except for last) between Cumulus 1 and MX (and were not calculated in Cumulus 2). Consequently you may see a discontinuity in your data from that recorded in Cumulus 1 when you move to MX.

Cumulus 1 (but not MX) calculates various additional parameters for any period from one day, through a month or year, to any number of days, in current or past years (you select start and end dates):
[[File:This period.PNG|left]]Cumulus 1 (but not MX) calculates various additional parameters for any period from one day, through a month or year, to any number of days, in current or past years (you select start and end dates):
*Average temperature from all readings in period
*Average temperature from all readings (at 1 minute intervals if Cumulus is left running) in period
*Average temperature from daily highest plus lowest
*Average temperature from daily highest plus lowest in each day in period
*Average of all daily maximum temperature
*Average of all daily maximum temperature
*Average of all daily minimum temperature
*Average of all daily minimum temperature
*Number of gale days
*Number of gale days (when average wind speed sufficient to earn Beaufort description as a gale)
*Snow index for period
*Snow index for period (cumulative totals of snow depths over days in period)
*Number of days with snow falling
*Number of days with snow falling
*Number of days with snow lying
*Number of days with snow lying
*Number of dry days in period
*Number of dry days in period (threshold set in settings, counts days in period below threshold)
