Faulty sensor: As of 26th Oct the wind sensor is not functioning normally. I will fix it ~September 2021. Until then wind data is being served from a nearby weather station, Harpenden weather.

A note on "Speed" vs. "Gust":
"Speed" is the windspeed sampled over a one minute period,
"Gust" is the windspeed sampled over a 14 second period. |
