Average wind Speed calculation
« on: February 29, 2012, 10:17:11 AM »
In my settings i have the average wind calculated every 10 mins. In the current conditions window i get a correct reading but in the Extreme Conditions and High low for the day it gives me a inflated reading by about 5km/h. Is there a separate setting for the Extreme window in order to show wind average calculated over a 10 min period?? Thanks in Advance

Mike

for the maximum average you mean?
that does not use the 10 minute average,if that is set but instead the max of the real time calculated average
what weather station type?

My station is a Vantage Vue. I didn't realize the max average doesn't use a 10 minute reading.

no, its using the maximum rolling average windspeed that WD calculates
I could add the otion to use 10 minute average for that
