wind average webtag

[Mapantz]

At midnight, my php tags file was processed, I spotted an unusually high wind average..

Code: Select all

$windAvg="<#windAvg dp=1>";

Code: Select all

$windAvg="698.1";

It was bang on 00:00:00

So, I'd guess that being the webtag gives a rolling average, it didn't have much time to accumulate any data, hence the wild number..

That's an interesting one.

Because the calculation uses values for "today" just after rollover the numbers will be tiny and the resulting figure could be a "bit whacky".

Really it is one of those figures that should be used retrospectively to previous days when a full days data is available, the value for today is a bit of indicator.

I'll put in a check for "tiny" times and return zero in that case - that is better than some wildly large value.
