Since changing that setting, it's definitely gotten better, but I am still getting occasional windDir of None. It's hard to catch it in the act. I am not entirely sure what my console shows, but the weewx data is not showing a windDir of 0. I have a Nagios check on it now and might be able to see the console one of these times.
I ran weewx with debug level at 2 and weewxd in a screen to capture all the logging I can. I don't fully understand the weewx logging just yet, but am digging in.
