Wind speed discrepancy

Post by moose »

Can any one explain why Cumulus is now showing more mph than the station display.?
Both are set to mph and there is nothing entered in calibration.


Am new to this, so I have probably inadvertently done something

Thanks

Do you have a checkmark against "Calculate 10-minute average" on the Configuration-->Station settings page?
If so: that could be the explanation. Remove the checkmark to get the average speed from the station.
