Hi David,

Also see this FAQ: My_gust_values_are_the_same_as_my_average_wind_speed_values.

Furthermore, if you do have "Calculate 10 minute Wind Average" ticked in "Station settings", then generally you should also tick "Use 'Speed' for Average calculation" (unless you understand the significance of not doing so).

Cheers, Alan.
