Common Options

This section covers fine tuning of the data that CumulusMX generates. There are options for:

  • Zero Bearing - forcing CumulusMX to use a bearing of '0' when there is no wind.
  • Average wind speed: If your station does not generate this data then CumulusMX can.
  • Speed Rounding: Do you want wind speeds to be integer values.
  • Maximum Humidity: Some station only generate values up to 98% so this option allows you to force it to 100%.
  • Dew Point: Again if your station does not generate this value, CumulusMX can.
  • Evapotranspiration: Get CumulusMX to calculate this.
  • See Level Pressure
  • Use CumulusMX Pressure names
  • Include any extra sensors in your logs.
  • Check for sensors
  • Set the sensor to use to indicate it's raining.
  • Use 'Leaf Wetness' as the 'It's Raings' sensor
  • Set your snowfall season start month.
