Is the 173 mph record in danger I wonder? Was that measurement a gust?

Of course, one can never be really sure because, as far as I know, the
instrumentation is only exposed for a few minutes every hour - at least that
was the case in the past. Unless there is continuous recording you can never
know what exactly is the maximum gust.

The Met Office SIESAWS on Cairn Gorm is a continuous recording system.
The Heriot-Watt AWS samples twice per hour (when it's working!)

Daniel.

I stand corrected. I only knew of the Herriot Watt AWS.
