I tried the integer version already, with the same result. So, I assumed,
that Beaufort is a string. Still no success.
At least current.windGust.beaufort works fine!
Thanks for the hint.
Showing wind gust is just to compare the values to the red line in the
windspeed/gust graph. When sailing, I am accustomed to trust on the waves,
not on the wind meter.
