so we will see nothing different until the next highest windgust is seen - is that correct?? And when we have a new high windgust there should then be a windgustdir entry??
What about in the archive where also there is a windgust but no windgustdir?? or is it also necessary to set windgustdir = winddir somewhere in weewx.conf?? i.e what/where/how is windgustdir actually getting a value since it is never actually coming from the station - since I thought greg said that the current tag provides a value for windgustdir ….
