Stay Calm!
Now the wind has dropped I've notice that the Beaufort description <#beaudesc> continues to report 'Calm' even when the wind speed goes above 0.7mph. The Beaufort number <#beaufortnumber> correctly changes to '1', but the description remains 'Calm'.

Re: Stay Calm!
It's F1 here right now (3 mph avg), having been calm previously, and it's correctly showing 'Light air'.
It does use a slightly different method for converting from the units in use to m/s, so it's possible that at borderline values, the two might differ. I'll change them to both use exactly the same calculation.
Edit: My speed is now 4 mph, and it's showing F2 but still 'Light air'.

Re: Stay Calm!
I was hoping to let you know at what point the <#beaudesc> changes to 'Light Air', but the wind speeds here are too light at the moment. It is higher than 2.2mph, and from your own reading less than 3.0
<wspeed>=0.6 <#beaufortnumber>= 0 <#beaudesc> is 'Calm'.
<wspeed>=0.8 <#beaufortnumber>= 1 <#beaudesc> is 'Calm'.
<wspeed>=2.2 <#beaufortnumber>= 1 <#beaudesc> is 'Calm'.
I hadn't noticed any problems with any other transitions, but I guess it is more noticeable when it says it is calm, but registering a number '1'.

Re: Stay Calm!
I only just noticed the upgrade.
I didn't realised you had sorted it already!
EDIT: The 3026 version is now running . . . . and if the wind speed would just go over 0.7mph . . .
EDIT: 0.7mph force 1 & 'Light Air'. Success!
