Am intrigued by the "Wind Run" value that is displayed on the main screen. It is in "km" units. Can find no reference to it in help or docs. What is it?

There's a note in the wiki about it: http://wiki.sandaysoft.com/a/Windrun

Thank you - suddenly all becomes clear - which is what I wish the weather was doing here. :D

I've added a note to the wiki page about how Cumulus calculates wind run; it takes the average speed once a minute and adds in a 'distance' corresponding to a minute's worth of that speed.
