====Inconsistency of tag names====
For both the legacy Cumulus and for MX, it is vital that you use tag names exactly as they are listed.  That would be easy had Steve Loft created a naming standard and stuck to it.  To be fair, when he first created tag names, Cumulus could only report current values and the summary for the day so far; Steve did not anticipate, back then, that later he would add extreme record monitoring. The legacy tag names for this month and this year were all introduced in a single release and they remain consistent apart from what MX added later!  However, they are not consistent with the naming of the all-time extremes introduced much earlier.
This great inconsistency in the naming, gives rise to a problem as it very easy to spell a tag_name incorrectly (and I apologise if any such mistakes creep into the tables) as you naturally expect there to be a standard pattern.  Some tags are all lower-case, some are camel-case, and some start with a capital letter. Have a look yourself at just how much inconsistency is present in the names in the tables below.
=====Inconsistency in use of "Y"=====
The character "Y" has been selected to denote yesterday in tag names.  The inconsistency is where it appears.  In his oldest tag names (e.g. <#rfallY>, <#windrunY>, <#avgtempY>), Steve used this Y as a suffix. In newer tag names (e.g. <#Ybeaufort>, <#YSunshineHours>, <#Ychillhours>), Steve changed to using Y as a prefix.
=====Consistency becomes inconsistency for this month and this year=====
The legacy tag names for this year and this month were all introduced together by Steve in one release, with consistency in how they were named then, "Month" or "Year" was used as a prefix (this was after he had started using "Y" as a prefix for his new yesterday tag names) e.g. <#YearLongestDryPeriod>.
The development of MX broke this consistency, as Mark adds "Year" as a suffix e.g. <#SunshineHoursYear>.
=====Inconsistency in use of "T"=====
I said above, that early versions of Cumulus only had tag names for current values and for today-so-far.  Therefore it could be assumed that <#beaufort>,  <#temp> and <#press> all represented current values while <#avgtemp> and <#rfall> represented today-so-far values just by looking at their names.
The current value tag names could be used as the basic part of tag names with  "TH" and "TL" added as suffixes to represent daily highs and daily lows, (e.g. <#tempTH>, <#tempTL> and <#pressTH>, <#pressTL>), which made a lot of sense.
But that naming convention was broken when the extreme <#Tbeaufort> used "T" as a prefix, not suffix, and did not include a "H". Continuing looking at today-so-far tag names, we discover a prefix "T" is not just used for values, it is also used for time-stamps e.g. <#TtempTH>.
The use of "T" as a prefix for time-stamps continues in the tag names for all-time extreme records. However, when you look at time-stamps for extremes in this-year, the time-stamp denoting "T" is added as a suffix e.g. <#YearTempHT>.

Note that this temperature has nothing to do with the temperature as reported by the main weather station. It reflects the temperature of the sensor and would be used in combination with the sensors measured humidity (see next) for correction of the measured PM (particulate matter) value. Determination of how to correct the PM value is highly dependent on the conditions and placement of the sensor. See the specification sheet for the sensor or create some multivariate regression line based on calibration measurements. This is also valid for PM sensors like the AirLink. The normal amateur usage of PM sensors is that the uncorrected values are published.

==Recent History==
==Recent History==


There are a set of web tags for 'recent historical data', based on an array stored by Cumulus giving data values from 1 minute ago, up to 1 week ago, in 1 minute intervals. As Cumulus runs it will add the latest values to the array with full resolution, and shift existing values along so those older than 7 days fall off. 
Please refer to the [[Recent history]] page for full information about using the tags in the following two tables, as material once on this page has been moved there.
*The input modification parameters available are listed at [[Webtags/Parameters#Input Modification Parameters for Recent History]].
**To save you looking up the details, these input parameters specify how many minutes ago is required. Instead of entering a very large number for minutes, you can include separate input parameters for days, hours, and minutes, ago.
**Examples appear in the table below, with explanations


Following the table giving the tag names actually available, there is a section on how to derive a few more weather derivatives using a combination of the tag names shown.
===Using input/output modification parameters with recent history tag names===


'''All tag names listed below, require the mandatory input modification parameters specified in this table.'''
The optional output modification parameters available are as specified in this table, depending on tag name:
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
|-
!style="width:150px" | Tag names
!style="width:200px" | Mandatory Input Modification Parameters

| Mandatory parameters as table at [[Webtags/Parameters#Input_modification_Parameters]]
| Optional parameters to modify the time format described in tables starting at [[Webtags/Parameters#Multiple_Output_Format_Modifier_parameters_for_times_and_dates]]
|-
| All other tag names in [[#Available in 1.9.3, 1.9.4, and all MX releases]] and [[#Available in MX only]]
| Mandatory parameters as table at [[Webtags/Parameters#Input_modification_Parameters]]
| Whether you can modify the way these values are output depends on release you are using:
* From release 3.10.5: Please see tables at [[Webtags/Parameters#Output_Modification_Parameter_for_changing_any_decimal_comma_into_a_decimal_point]] and [[Webtags/Parameters#Controlling_the_number_of_decimal_places]]
* For legacy Cumulus, and earlier MX releases, no output format modification parameters are available, instead see [[#No_Commas]] section on this page.
|}


===Warning when Daylight Saving Time starts or ends===
=== Table of Recent History tag names available ===
 
Note that Cumulus uses current time, read from the computer, to determine which array element it stores each value in.
 
Hence ''when clocks go back'' the value stored for winter time overwrites the value previously stored for same time during summer time for the relevant repeating hour.


Hence even if you use 10am for your rollover time in summer, you will not have access to a whole hour worth of data when the clocks change
One tag name is available since 1.9.3 to report the time associated with values you request.
* ''when the clocks go back'', one hour has been overwritten; or
* ''when the clocks go forward'', one hour in the array simply does not exist.
 
=== Table of Recent History web tags available ===
 
 
[[#No_Commas]] versions of the array are available for use in script. If you use MX, the tag names in this table can take a [[Webtags/Parameters#Output Modification Parameter for Removing Commas|rc=y]] parameter.


Although as [[Recent history]] page explains, the history is intended to cover every minute in last 7 days, some entries may be at less frequent intervals, and when clocks change some entries will be missing altogether.

=== Other weather derivatives ===
====Available in MX only====


Although Humidex, 'Apparent Temperature', 'Feels Like temperature' and others listed in Current Conditions section, are not available at all versions, they can be calculated in a script from recent 'outside temperature', 'wind speed', and 'relative humidity' values (using the same time selection for all). There are other derivatives that can be calculated similarly from a set of simultaneous values. Note that Cumulus 1 and MX do not always use identical formula, and although MX added Feels Like it has changed the formula a few times.
Please note this section has NOT yet been updated for recent MX releases, it appears from [[cumulusmx.db|RecentData table in cumulusmx.db]] that the list here is not complete for MX.  However, no release announcement has been found listing tag names not shown here (i.e. apparent temperature, indoor temperature and humidity, air quality)
 
{| class="wikitable" border="1"
The relevant formulae using JavaScript, adjust for other languages, for some of these are shown below:
|-

==== Canadian Humidity Index ====
!style="width:150px" | Introduced
 
!style="width:600px" | Function
If you are in USA and use Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, you will need to omit the 5/9 term, but as the index is dimensionless no other conversion is needed. This example is for 3 hours ago, change the input parameters to suit your need.
!style="width:600px" | Input Modification Parameters example
 
|-
Cumulus 1:
|colspan="4" style="background:lightgray;"|Indoor Temperature & Humidity tags
 
|-
H = <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3> + 5/9 * (6.1094 * Math.exp(5417.753 *(1/273.16 - 1/ (273.16 + <#RecentDewPoint h=3> )))-10);

H = (5/9 * (<#RecentHumidity h=3> /100 * svp - 10)) + <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3;
| <#RecentWindChill d=48 m=1> reports the wind chill temperature 2 days ago
 
|-
==== Apparent Temperature and Feels Like ====
|<#RecentFeelsLike>
 
| Available from version 3.6.11 (build 3087) onwards.
Note this apparent temperature formula uses Celsius for temperature and '''metres per second''' for wind speed. You will need to do the appropriate conversions from the quoted recent history tags if you use different units.  The Australian Apparent temperature formula is same for Cumulus 1 and MX:
| Feels Like Temperature
 
| <#RecentFeelsLike h=12 m=1> reports the feel like temperature 12 hours ago
var actualVaporPress = <#RecentHumidity h=3>/100) * 6.105 * Math.exp(17.27 * <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>) / (237.7 + parseFloat(<#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>))));
|-
var appTempDegC = parseFloat(<#RecentOutsideTemp h=3) + (0.33 * actualVaporPress) - (0.7 * <#RecentWindSpeed h=3>) - 4;
|<#RecentHumidex>
 
| Available from version 3.7.0 (build 3089) onwards.
Feels Like was implemented as a recent history web tag at version 3.6.11 (see [[#Feels_Like|Feels Like section below Current condition web tags]]) for the gradual introduction of feels like elsewhere. For earlier MX versions, and if you are using Cumulus 1, you can calculate it:
| Canadian Humidity Index (humidex) Dimensionless - no units
 
| <#RecentHumidex h=3> reports humidex 3 hours ago
The formulas below use Celsius for temperature and '''km per hour''' for wind speed. Again, you will need to do the appropriate conversions from the quoted recent history tags if you use different units.
|-
 
|colspan="4" style="background:lightgray;"|Air Quality tags
Calculation from recent history tags is much more complicated because there are 3 different calculations: Feels Like reports exactly same as wind chill for temperatures '''below''' 10°C or 50°F so the WC here should equal <#RecentWindChill h=3>:
|}
<pre>if(<#RecentWindSpeed h=3> < 4.828) WC = <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>;
else{
wind_pow =  Math.pow(<#RecentWindSpeed h=3>, 0.16);
WC = (13.12 + 0.1625 * <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>) - (11.37 * wind_pow) + (0.3965 * <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3> * wind_pow);// Brackets used to ensure "+" is interpreted as addition not concatenation
} </pre>
 
For temperatures '''above''' 20°C or 68°F Feels Like uses a different way to calculate apparent temperature that it uses at these higher temperatures (this formula only used for 3.6.10 onwards):
<pre>var actualVaporPress = <#RecentHumidity h=3>/100) * 6.112* Math.exp((17.62 * <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>)/(243.12 + <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>)) / 10.0;  // Not same as at build 3084
/* uses kilometres per hour for wind speed */
/*  What Cumulus MX will use to calculate apparent temperature for feels like is changed very slightly */
if(<#RecentWindSpeed h=3> > 72) <#RecentWindSpeed h=3> =72;
AT= (1.04 * <#RecentOutsideTemp h=3>) + (2 * actualVaporPress) - (0.1805553 * <#RecentWindSpeed h=3>) - 2.7;</pre>
 
For in-between temperatures it uses a more complicated merge of the two formulas for AT and WC as defined above:
<pre>app_temp_mult = (<#RecentOutsideTemp h=3> - 10) / 10;
wind_chill_mult = 1 - app_temp_mult;
 
FL= AT * app_temp_mult + WC * wind_chill_mult;</pre>

===Today.ini===
===Today.ini===


As explained earlier, these tags relate to latest [[Meteorological day]], except for Sunshine Hours which relate to latest Calendar day.
As explained earlier, these tag names relate to latest [[Meteorological day]] and they are populated from information held in [[today.ini]], as the sub-section title suggests; except for Sunshine Hours which relate to latest Calendar day and can be taken from either [[yesterday.ini]] or "today.ini" depending on (respectively) whether before or after rollover time if that is not midnight.  


Information for these tags is taken from [[today.ini]], hence the sub-section title, although Sunshine Hours can be taken from either [[yesterday.ini]] or "today.ini" depending on (respectively) whether before or after rollover time if that is not midnight.
Where a tag name reports a value specific to a past time in today-so-far, there will also be a tag name that can give the time of day, shown in same row of table below. For those that cover whole day so far, the final column contains "n/a". Please note none of the time tags can be modified by output parameters to give a date, but they can be changed from the default time format that is 'H:mm' (24 hour clock notation without leading zero for hour) for Cumulus 1 and MX.


Many of these web tags were used on the supplied '''todayT.htm''' template in the legacy "/web" folder.  If you are using MX, the today and yesterday page in the [[MX_Administrative_Interface]] shows similar information by using the [[Cumulus_MX_Local_API#Today.2FYesterday_Data|local application programming interface]].
Also as explained earlier, there is some inconsistency in naming with "T" not included in all tag names, "T" is used in conjunction with "H" or "L" as a suffix for extreme values/time-stamps, but a prefix "T" can identify today's value, or prefix "T" can signify a time-stamp.  


For web tags that report values that refer to a particular time of day, there is a corresponding web tag that can give the time of day, shown in same row of table below. For those that cover whole day so far, the final column contains "n/a".
In the legacy '''todayT.htm''' template, in the legacy "/web" folder, use was made of a selection of the tag names listed here.


Please note none of the time web tags can be modified by output parameters to give a date, but they can be changed from the default time format that is 'H:mm' (24 hour clock notation without leading zero for hour) for Cumulus 1 and MX.
If you are using MX, the today and yesterday page in the [[MX_Administrative_Interface]] shows similar information by using the [[Cumulus_MX_Local_API#Today.2FYesterday_Data|local application programming interface]].
 
If you are using output modifiers to change how the time is reported, be careful to use ones that work for the flavour of Cumulus you are using ('H' and 'h' are same for Cumulus 1, but the two codes represent different formats for MX; MX insists on 'mm' being used for minutes, but the 'NN' and 'nn' used by Cumulus 1 could be replaced by 'mm' if they followed an hour specifier).
