*By default, for higher temperatures, Cumulus will report a wind chill temperature that will be the same as reported for temperature.  Cumulus can make a wind chill calculation for temperatures above 10°C, so if you have asked Cumulus to calculate wind chill and don't wish it to comply with the ten degree limit, edit your [[cumulus.ini]] and add  to the [[Cumulus.ini#Section:_Station|''[Station]'']] section the line: <pre>UseWindChillCutoff=0</pre>
