Wind Chill negative Spikes

Post by mehim »

Hello,

I am using the WMR88 and have cumulus calculating the wind chill, i noted in another post that windchill does not apply under 4.8km/h wind but for some reason it calculates huge negative spikes every once in a while. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Have to keep going back and changing values. Oh and the value is always -17,8°C

Kind Regards,

Tim Earl (Happy Cumulus User)

Are you sure you have Cumulus calculating wind chill? It's just that -17.8 C is 0 F, and the WMR100 supplies wind chill in Fahrenheit.

Hello and thank you for prompt reply, I will double check later when I get home, I am helping my Dad with his cumulus software, maybe i checked it for him and not me.
