Steve,
So have you tried:
# time_length = 43200
# Changed color and data_type
[[[[wind_avg]]]]
color = 'yellow'
data_type = windSpeed
aggregate_type = avg
aggregate_interval = 3600 # 1 Hour
line_gap_fraction = 0.05
label = 1 Hour Avg Speed
# End of addition
[[[[windSpeed]]]]
color = 0x000000
anti_alias = 2
That will plot windSpeed (black) and the one hour average windSpeed
(yellow) values. Keep in mind that for your system the windSpeed value in
each archive record is the average of all of the loop packet windSpeed
values seen in that archive period. So if your station sees a windSpeed of,
say 20mph, in a single loop packet that value well be 'lost' when all of
the loop packet windSpeed values are averaged to give the windSpeed value
for the archive period (chances are the average will be less than the
maximum value) - so don't expect the max wind speeds seen by your station
to be appear on the modified plot. The default action by WeeWX when no
windGust is provided by the station/driver is to use the highest windSpeed
value seen during the archive period as the windGust value in the archive
record. Another way of looking at it is to think of the labelling of your
current plot as 'Gust Speed 1 Hour Avg Speed 5 Minute Avg Speed'
(assuming you have a five minute archive interval).
