Be aware that a regenerated report for a past period might not be quite as accurate as the report that Cumulus can generate as part of end of day processing. The original report will use figures processed during the preceding day, while a regenerated report has to recalculate them (unless accurate figures are in dayfile.txt). Such differences may be seen for average temperature, average wind speed, dominant direction, and the heating and cooling degree days, because Cumulus has to calculate those as it goes along, it can't do it retrospectively. | Be aware that a regenerated report for a past period might not be quite as accurate as the report that Cumulus can generate as part of end of day processing.

Any changes you make to settings, such as units, or thresholds for heating/cooling degree days, may make earlier lines in these reports incompatible with later lines. The legacy Cumulus does not recalculate earlier information according to latest settings. | |||
