Its Monday and a new week has started and I am seeing wind direction and speed and time which is good.
High Wind 24 km/h from 45° (NE) at 11:14:30 (Monday) I am getting some NULL values but I think they are because there is NO wind speed, so that is expected. | 1525685400 | NULL | | 1525685700 | 270 | | 1525686000 | NULL | | 1525686300 | NULL | So far so good.
