Describe the bug

Today at around 7:45pm I heard some strong winds outside, so I checked the M5 and it said 37.5mph for 'Gust' speed. This is the highest reading I've seen for wind gust so far. When checking the historical charts later on, the highest wind gust it showed was 13.2mph.

How To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior: Check 'Gust' speed on M5 and compare against historical charts data.

Expected behavior

M5 'Gust' speed to match the historical charts data.

I went and checked mine as well. Same thing. And, I noticed a related item, where the current wind speed on the M5 can also differ a lot from the current wind speed on the Now weather tile in the app. The M5 can show a much higher current wind speed.

This is a known issue as on the historical charts we use average aggregation (which is a bug) instead of max. A fix is pending for that.

Awesome. It's one of the 2 areas so far that have concerned me the most, so I will love to see this one improved.

PavlosTze commented 2 years ago

Hello @RevNotDev and @Greg15 . This should be fixed, we released a new API version that handles this and uses MAX aggregation for wind gust. Can you please confirm?

Greg15 commented 2 years ago

I'll see if I can take a unit for a drive in the car today to generate a high gust speed and check it

Greg15 commented 2 years ago

I took a station for a short drive. Max gust seen on M5 was 41.1 mph. Historical chart in app has same value. Seems fixed to me. Thank you!

This is the hyperlocal value I wanted to be able to check when away from my home for lengthy periods to see if wind speeds got high enough that I might need to go home to check for possible wind damage, so I appreciate this change.
