Thanks Gary for your analysis, it make sense, I will have to dig a little bit more in other stations since I think I have seeing other (not WF) sending rapidfire with windgust at the same time. Not sure where / how they calculate it.
In the same line of thought is there a way to increase the WeeWx WU report interval? Right now it report every 5 minutes and I have seeing stations reporting every 1 minute so it seems to be supported by WU. Thanks, Frank.
