get high monthly rain back on track?

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

get high monthly rain back on track?

Post by n9mfk »

Hi Steve, Is there a way to get this value back on track using c1 before running new build
This year's high monthly rain isn't read correctly from year.ini at startup, so gets reset to this month's figure - should be fixed in 3019

If you look at the NOAA annual report, you can check whether your January total is higher than February, and if it is, edit year.ini before starting Cumulus.

The figure that's wrong is the high MONTHLY total for this year. In your case it should be 1.13 in January, but it is probably showing 0.52 in February. Edit the [Rain] section in year.ini; put 1.13 for MonthlyHigh and any date and time in January for HMonthlyTime.
