Yes, Hugh, that is a spurious reading. Time to make some checks on your
equipment.

Last night at 03:53z the AWS recorded a gust of 68.7kts SW. I've never
had anything as high as this befo the most was the 29kts on 29/01/08.
Should I assume this is a false reading?

I notice too that the AWS has done its occasional temperature aberration
today at 09z:

Max temp -100.0C
Min temp 1000.0C

We're all doomed!
