In the '''View''' menu, select ''This month'', and a summary for the current calendar month (not including current day) will be calculated from the monthly log. Note that many parameters are different to those available as web tags, especially if you use 9am/10am rollover. For example, where a day number is shown on screen, it is the meteorological day (changing at rollover), but when a timestamp (with time and date) is given in a web tag the date is a calendar date (always changing at midnight). As an example applying regardless of rollover time, the screen shows total number of dry or wet days in the month, the web tags report longest | In the '''View''' menu, select ''This month'', and a summary for the current calendar month (not including current day) will be calculated from the monthly log.

To view for a different month (or if you use 9am/10am rollover, if '''current local time on the 1st day of a month''' is before rollover time so the log for the current calendar month has not been started), select the month and year required using the options at bottom left, click ''Update Display'' and the revised summary will be calculated. (Alternatively you can select ''This period'' and select an included start date and excluded end date then click ''Update Display'' to get the equivalent calculation for part of a month or any other period). By default, without selecting different dates, ''This period'' shows yesterday. | To view for a different month (or if you use 9am/10am rollover, if '''current local time on the 1st day of a month''' is before rollover time so the log for the current calendar month has not been started), select the month and year required using the options at bottom left, click ''Update Display'' and the revised summary will be calculated.
