-Different weather stations report different rainfall observations, see [[Monthly_log_files]] for the parameters that Cumulus tracks.  Most processing by Cumulus is based on the total rainfall count output by a weather station, see [[FAQ#My_station_invented_some_rain_that_didn.27t_really_occur.2C_and_I_want_to_set_it_to_zero_.28or_some_other_figure.29 | FAQ]] for more.

+Cumulus processes rainfall in one of two [[cumulus.ini| units]] (millimetres and inches).  Most processing by Cumulus is based on the total rainfall count output by a weather station, see [[FAQ#My_station_invented_some_rain_that_didn.27t_really_occur.2C_and_I_want_to_set_it_to_zero_.28or_some_other_figure.29 | FAQ]] for more. The rainfall observations output by different weather stations varies, see [[Monthly_log_files]] for the parameters that Cumulus tracks.  Cumulus can also read rainfall from a separate RG11 optical gauge.
 On the Cumulus '''View''' menu ''This month/period/year'' screens you can see (excludes current meteorological day):
