Can Real-Time Wind speed Gauge be changed?

Post by DaveI »

I'm talking about the Real-Time Wind speed Gauge on the Gauges Page.
I've changed my Wind speed Gauge to 100Mph and it shows on the page correctly
but the "Real-Time" Wind speed Gauge is still showing a scale of 50MPH. In a couple
of months we'll be exceeding 50MPH routinely here and it would be nice if I could set
the Real-Time gauge to 100MPH (I have it refreshing every minute)...

I think you will find that the Cumulus gauge auto-scales. The Flash version will too IIRC.

So what you're saying is that the real-time wind speed gauge will auto-scale once the wind speed exceeds 50MPH?

Yes, it doubles the maximum. The gauge on the Cumulus main screen does the same; the value you set is simply the initial value, as described in the help.
