Mark Crossley does share the source code for MX, this shows that MX creates the monthly and yearly reports afresh each day, reading information from [[dayfile.txt]] for past days. If you change threshold settings for degree days in MX, that only affects subsequent daily summary log entries, so again although the report shows the latest thresholds, these might not apply to all information on the report. Mark's monthly report uses:
Steve Loft's beta 3.0.0 did not include any code for generating NOAA reports, therefore there is no connection between the way that Cumulus MX from release 3.1.0 generates the reports and the way the legacy Cumulus 1 generated reports.
#Daily [[average temperature]] (depends on release)
 
Mark Crossley does share the source code for MX, this shows that MX creates the monthly and yearly reports afresh each day, reading information from [[dayfile.txt]] for past days. This means there is no difference between a report produced automatically by MX at end of day, and a report you manually ask it to produce at any time.
 
If you change threshold settings for degree days in MX, that only affects subsequent daily summary log entries, so again although the report shows the latest thresholds, these might not apply to all information on the report. You would need to use Mark's [[Calculate_Missing_Values#CreateMissing.exe|Create Missing utility]] to approximately recalculate all the daily summary log (dayfile.txt) entries before you could manually rerun report generation based entirely on the new thresholds.
 
Mark's '''monthly report''' uses:
#Daily [[average temperature]] (see below as depends on release)
#Highest daily [[Temperature_(and_humidity)_measurement|temperature]] and time (taken from fields 7 and 8 of the daily summary log)
#Highest daily [[Temperature_(and_humidity)_measurement|temperature]] and time (taken from fields 7 and 8 of the daily summary log)
#Lowest daily temperature and time (taken from fields 5 and 6 of the daily summary log)
#Lowest daily temperature and time (taken from fields 5 and 6 of the daily summary log)

For releases 3.1.0 to 3.11.4, daily average temperature is taken from field 16 of daily summary log file
DAILY AVERAGE shown for each day of month on monthly report:
From release 3.12.0, there is a choice between that integrated average (calculated from every temperature reading processed), and the WMO average based on limited manual observations (here calculated from adding fields 5 and 7, then dividing by 2)
* For releases 3.1.0 to 3.11.4, taken from field 16 of daily summary log file
* From release 3.12.0, there is a choice between that integrated average (calculated from every temperature reading processed), and the WMO average based on limited manual observations (here calculated from adding fields 5 and 7, then dividing by 2)
 
MONTHLY AVERAGE shown on monthly and annual reports
* For the summary line at the bottom of the monthly table:
** The average shown is the average of all the figures in the column above
* For the line shown for each month on the yearly report:
** For releases 3.1.0 to 3.4.3, the figure shown is based on the same calculation as the summary line of the monthly table
** For release 3.4.4 to 3.11.4, the figure shown is based on averaging field 16 of daily summary log file for all days in that month (i.e. the integrated average calculated from all temperature readings available)
** From release 3.12.0, there is the choice between averaging field 16, or averaging both fields 5 and 7
* For the summary line at the bottom of the yearly table:
** For releases 3.1.0 to 3.4.3, the figure shown is based on averaging the figures in the column above, as if all months had the same number of days
** For release 3.4.4 to 3.11.4, the figure shown is based on averaging field 16 of daily summary log file for all days in that year (i.e. the integrated average calculated from all temperature readings available)
** From release 3.12.0, there is the choice between averaging field 16, or averaging both fields 5 and 7
