The SteelSeries Gauges template fields are correct (well the 10 min average actually uses a 1 hour average but that is either here nor there).
The fact the maximum windSpeed recorded in the archive is lower than the what you get with $day.windSpeed.max is not surprising. The windSpeed values in your archive are the average of the loop windSpeed values seen over that archive period. So if over the first 5 minute archive period of the day your station saw (loop) windSpeed values of 6,8,8,10,12 the value 8.8 (44/5) would be recorded in the archive as windSpeed for that archive period. The daily summaries keep track of the Highs and Lows. So the windSpeed daily summary would record 12 as the max. As subsequent archive periods roll over and loop packets come in additional records are added to the archive (ie windSpeed will contain the average of the loop windSpeed values over the archive period) and the Highs and Lows in the daily summaries will be updated *if a new* High or Low was seen during that archive period. So it is quite possible that the maximum windSpeed value seen in all of the day's archive records is lower than that returned by $day.windSpeed.max ($day.windSpeed.max pulls the max windSpeed value from the daily summaries). In fact for windSpeed i woudl almost guarantee that the max value in the archive will be less than $day.windSpeed.max. The exception is when the daily summaries are rebuilt all of the accumulated detail of highs and lows and their times are lost (ie the detail of the loop data is lost) and the daily summaries are rebuilt frome the (largely) 'averaged' archive data. The real tell will be a query of both the windSpeed and windGust daily summaries. If you do: SELECT * FROM archive_day_windSpeed ORDER BY dateTime DESC LIMIT 1; and then SELECT * FROM archive_day_windGust ORDER BY dateTime DESC LIMIT 1; I'll bet the values in both of the max columns are the same (the maxtimes will likely be different). That is not right and that is why $day.windSpeed.max and $day.windGust.max are returning the same values. (coincidentally, I get the exact same results on my system with a different station so it is not an issue with the station). How weewx handles wind obs is complex, and whilst the issue has been identified I think a bit more analysis will be required to work any possible fix.
