Error ?? with Wind data

[michelrochette]

Hello, I noticed that the display of the data on the wind speed is equal to 0 in the first display, and is different in the second display. The data displayed in this last display seems more real. As proof, the other sites in the region WU present data for wind speed.

Sensor data is collected from the internet periodically. The latest is shown on the General Status page. For wind sensor it will be as often as every 5 minutes unless a wind restriction period is shorter and 5 minutes does not allow sufficient time to do a reasonable average of wind speed.

The Evaluation Weather is a snapshot at the instant the button is clicked. I would expect any station to have wind speed variations from second to second.

mcsSprinklers uses averages for wind speed so it does not make decisions based upon a single wind speed sample.
