Storms and Convective discussion - April 2024
ChannelThunder replied to Supacell's topic in Storms & Severe Weather
Eagle Eye thanks for the details. I hadn't even paid attention to the fact there is a storm risk tonight, just assumed it was your bog-standard showery Atlantic front! -
A repeat of these exact synoptics later in the year when there's more warm air to be sucked into the mid levels from Europe would go down a treat. It's so unusual for the whole lot to be tracking to the NWW like this is doing, and in the summer it'd no doubt give a long lasting show to many as it crawls across.

Question RE Wind Gusts
ChannelThunder replied to ChannelThunder's topic in Weather stations and equipment
Mapantz ACCUR8 DWS7100. Ah, that's a bugger, but glad I wasn't just missing the setting. Your post led me to realise you can change it within the Wundermap, rather than the dashboard, and then those changes get applied to the DB. A little annoying that you can only change those settings in groups but I guess I'll live with it! Thank you for the reply -
Hi! For Christmas, I finally got a weather station, and I set it up ready to record from the New Year, so I'm quite new to this whole game. I've spotted something quite disappointing on both WU and Weathercloud; the strongest gusts you see on screen get missed in the data uploaded. I understand that the uploads are periodic, but it seems such a shame, and I feel a bit ripped off to not see the strongest gusts recorded in my data. For example, yesterday afternoon when the winds peaked, I watched the console for a while and saw a gust of 56.6mph come up at one point. However, if you look just at the data on the two sites, you see a max gust of 45.2mph on WC, and 54.4mph on WU (much better, but still clearly missing the strongest gusts!). I noticed this in January too, with the strongest gust shown on WU being 49mph. I recall that day being windier than yesterday, too! It seems a real shame you can't record data on the console itself and not have to miss extremes due to the nature of these uploads. I take it there's no way around this? While I'm here, is there a way to change WU's dashboard to mph? The site seems very lacking in settings and I'm not keen on the km/h it's stuck on.
