Wind gust extreme for yesterday and today is incorrect

Post by boss281 »

I've noticed that Cumulus often shows values with wind gust extremes from 2-3 days in the past on the Recent Extremes "today" and "yesterday" portion of the display. Other data appears to match the actual. Any thoughts on this?

The usual reason for this with a Davis station is that your console clock and PC clock differ by a few minutes or more.

Hmmm. Difference of 8 minutes on the console vs PC. Let's see if that helps going forward. Thanks for the speedy reply.
