MX uses the same '''month.ini''' file to record extreme records for current month. At start of each meteorological day, MX backs up the current file as in its [[Data folder|/data]], so when the month changes, this backs up the (empty) file for new month. The content is essentially same as other flavours except that when new extremes occur the date format used has year first (ISO yyyy-MM-dd). 3.6.x releases of MX add Canadian Humidity Index and Feels Like Temperatures to what is stored.

The content is essentially same as other flavours except that when new extremes occur the date format used has year first as shown in example in table below. 3.6.x releases of MX add Canadian Humidity Index and Feels Like Temperatures to what is stored.  


From build 3035 onwards, MX archives the month.ini and year.ini file at the end of the month/year as monthYYYYMM.ini and yearYYYY.ini. This means that although the file saved in the back up daily folder contains the month.ini for the new month and so does not back up the end of month position, the old monthly log ini file is preserved for true end of month state in the data folder with a new name.
