The threshold value which the daily rainfall has to equal or exceed for the day to be considered a 'rain day' is set in [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station | RainDayThreshold]] and has a default value of ''-1'' that means 0.2mm or 0.01in. Alternative thresholds can be used by specifying a number in the units your configuration uses.
