Note that if you sample these readings at shorter (real time) intervals it is possible for Cumulus 'Latest' to be lower than Cumulus 'Average' because approximately half of the 3-second wind speeds will be higher and half of them lower than the 10-minute average. | Note that if you sample these readings at shorter (real time) intervals it is possible for Cumulus 'Latest' to be lower than Cumulus 'Average' because approximately half of the 3-second wind speeds will be higher and half of them lower than the 10-minute average. | ||

Davis stations do not supply the 'Gust value. The Cumulus 'Gust (available via <#wgust>) is a value calculated by Cumulus by capturing the highest of the station's 3-second readings over the previous 10 minutes. | Davis stations do not supply the 'Gust value.
