You mean 33.8km/hr at 00:16; as recorded in the previous image for the then current day max?  Somehow it loses the yesterday value as it goes past midnight into the new day - ie not transferred across.  It is possibly picking up the max gust in last 10mins or something... just prior to midnight.

It almost appears to record the 10 minute average.

The frustrating part about this is, it is not every day. Most days it is spot on. Then for some reason it throws what appears to be the 10 minute average. See my last two days posted above. 27th is fine. 28th is not.
This has being going on for around 4 months now.

does anyone else have this problem?
I have been checking here and I do not
and I do not have any other reports of this particular problem
you say WD is running all the time?
i.e its not restarting at some stage?
are you able to keep an eye on this value from time to time during the day prior to midnight to see if there is a pattern, i.e to see if its being reset at some stage , or similar?
also check what you have set as the hour to reset the windspeed in the units setup?

JL, under 'Control Panel,Units & Settings. Go into Windspeed/Dir. Do you have "use 10min average for Windspeed Average" ticked by chance?

Yes.
Has been unticked.
How would that affect the gust value though.
Thanks Deano :)

Ok (touches wood ) the last 5 days have been correct :)

The last instructions I sent to member was:
Quote
JL, under 'Control Panel,Units & Settings. Go into Windspeed/Dir. Do you have "use 10min average for Windspeed Average" ticked by chance?
But that return a nil value so I had that reversed - sorry Deano.
I then sent from weather Display:
Quote
also check what you have set as the hour to reset the windspeed in the units setup?

I received back "Done"
Cept I am not sure what was done but so far it appears to have fixed it :)
Many thanks you guys for your help. Lets hope after 3 months I can put this one to the side :)
