Hi Steve
Nice site BTW.
One question the AVG wind speed is higher than the gusts - is this the wrong
way round ?


Yes, fair point. It's because the 'average' is a 10-minute average, and
the 'gust' is simply the latest figure returned from the station at the
time the page was uploaded. It's probably not too useful a value, and I
should probably be showing the highest gust from the last 10 minutes -
is that what other software does?
