==Cumulus builds 1041 to 1088==
Month.ini is one of the files that is included in the back up made each time there is a roll-over at the end of a meteorological day. All the files stored by legacy Cumulus software in the builds listed in the heading reflect the position as the day ended. For example, the legacy Cumulus at these builds stores the '''Month.ini''' for the month just finishing when it does end of month roll-over.
== Build 1089 onwards==
Later builds of the legacy software do a back-up as at start of day. This means when the month changes, the back-up contains an empty '''month.ini''' ready for the new month, and the extremes for the finished month are lost.

#Cumulus created a new meteorological month early, and updated the month.ini as if it had started at midnight, losing everything in the month.ini for the previous month, and corrupting the month.ini for the meteorological month that correctly starts only after rollover.

On the end of month roll-over back-up folder, Cumulus stores the '''month.ini''' after it has been initialised for the new month. No copy is retained of the month.ini at the end of the month.
