Your date format is wrong in yesterday.ini, so you could correct that. If you upload your December log and dayfile.txt I'll see if there are any problems in those.

Just checked those two lines of code that gave me the weird readings and as you can see they appear to be correct:

Month High Rain Rate: <#MonthRainRateH><#rainunit>/h @ <#MonthRainRateHT> on <#MonthRainRateHD>

Year High Rain Rate: <#YearRainRateH><#rainunit>/h @ <#YearRainRateHT> on <#YearRainRateHD>

Still getting
25.2mm/h @ 11:48 on 22 November (Month)
28.8mm/h @ 11:48 on 22 November (Year)

Or would this be to do with my other current dramas?

If it's showing the same date/time in Cumulus, then it's nothing to do with web tags.
Unlikely. I just can't see any way that it can change the value without changing the timestamp, or how the timestamp wouldn't at least have been reset on the 1st Dec. It certainly seems to be working OK for everyone else. I think you'll just have to edit the date and see how it goes from now.

OK, so just to clarify, I shouldn't be getting a November result for this month's High Rain Rate?

Fixed date format in yesterday.ini

Here's the other files:

Yesterday's data seems OK now I've fixed that yesterday.ini

Just got to get this month's rainfall back (only has today's on there) and then fix the record date & time for this month's high rain rate, although I can't seem to find the data that matches with what I find when I search for the data on a specific day when I go into the View>This Period thingy.

Thanks for all your help steve

Those files look OK. The date separator has changed but that doesn't matter.

Your high rain rate for this month is 25.2 at 1521 on the 2nd.

When I run with your logs, I get this month's rain displayed as 55.2, which looks about right. That figure may not be exact as today's rain will be coming from my system.

OK, so what do I edit to fix that and the total rain for the month?

Or will that actually fix itself tomorrow?

It is the date format change that's the problem. To total this month's rain at startup, it scans dayfile.txt looking for date entries that match the current month and year, including the separator. Your entries have '12/10' but your system date format is now '12-10', so they don't match.

When I first created Cumulus, it was just for me, and I used my date format, which I never change. I didn't know that other people with different date formats would one day use Cumulus. I've managed to cope with different date formats now, but in many places it still doesn't cater for the format changing. I'll change this code so it copes.

Ah, so if I change all the December dates to my current format then it will fix the problem?

Or should I just wait until the next beta?

You'll notice that earlier in the year I must have changed the date format twice more too (or switched computers that Cumulus was running on - I can't recall that far back).

Bump!

I edited the dates for this current month to the same format and that seems to have fixed up the total rain for the month etc. but I still can't figure out why my value for High Rain rate for this month is still showing a value for November, and also the value for that exact date and time is lower than the exact same value I get for this year's high rainfall rate. What can I edit to fix this issue?

This month's high rain rate: 25.2mm/h @ 11:48 on 22 November (but it's December this month)
This year's high rain rate: 28.8mm/h @ 11:48 on 22 November

Bump?

You need to edit the month.ini file.

Ah, thanks, I couldn't find it initially because I had been using Toolbox to edit the .ini files and this one isn't supported yet.
