On the Cumulus '''View''' ''Highs and lows''  screens you can see those of the following appropriate to the chosen period:
* Highest Hourly/Daily/Monthly Rainfall  
* Highest Hourly/Daily/Monthly Rainfall  
* High rain rate
* High [[#Rain_Rate|rainfall rate]]
* Longest wet period (count of consecutive days with rainfall above configured threshold)
* Longest wet period (count of consecutive days with rainfall above configured threshold)
* Longest dry period (count of consecutive days with rainfall below configured threshold)
* Longest dry period (count of consecutive days with rainfall below configured threshold)
These screens display the Highest or Longest extreme values for various rainfall categories; the same values are available from [[Webtags]].
All of these values are also available from [[Webtags]].

A number of values are shown for rainfall (all include start day, but exclude end day of period selected), these are calculated by reading the [[dayfile.txt]]:
A number of values are shown for rainfall, these are calculated by summing field 14 (total rain today) from relevant rows in [[dayfile.txt]] (so will exclude the current meteorological day):
* Total for this (any) month  
# Total rainfall
* Total for this (any) period you want (select start date included and end date excluded)
#* Total for this (any) month  
* Total for this (any calendar) year is shown on 'This year' screen
#* Total for this (any) period you want (select start date and end date)
* Wettest day (equivalent to 'Highest Daily Rainfall' parameters of webtags)
#* Total for this (any calendar) year is shown on 'This year' screen
* High rainfall rate
# Wettest day (equivalent to 'Highest Daily Rainfall' parameters of webtags)
* Rain days (count of days with rainfall above configured threshold)
# High [[#Rain_Rate|rainfall rate]]
* Dry days (count of days with rainfall below configured threshold)
# Rain days (count of days in period with rainfall above configured threshold)
* Days with snow falling
# Dry days (count of days in period with rainfall below configured threshold)
* Days with snow lying
# Days in period with snow falling (from [[Weather_Diary]])
# Days in period with snow lying
