Mean or gust?

Personally I feel that the quoting of gust speeds is rather meaningless
and rather tabloid mejia like. An accompanying mean would mitigate that
somewhat. Case in point the lone 57mph gust here at 0259, was that real
or a instrumentation glitch? Other gusts at that time where the low 50's
mph.
