A new web page has been created, showing the wind & weather over the past 24 hours, in 10-minute increments. This page was created based on feedback from members who commented that they liked to review the winds from their sail the previous day.
This page is in addition to the Current and 6-Hour History and 7-Day History pages, which show the weather at 5-minute and 1-hour intervals, respectively. Note that per the Usage Notes, on different pages, the wind speeds and directions are averaged over different time intervals. Similarly, the wind gust is the maximum wind speed measured over that same interval. Refer to the table below.
| Page | Time Increment | Wind Speed & Direction Averaged Over | Peak Gust Over |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6-hour History | 5 Minutes | Previous 2 minutes | Previous 2 minutes |
| 24-hour History | 10 Minutes | Previous 10 minutes | Previous 10 minutes |
| 7-day History | 1 Hour | Previous 10 minutes | Previous 10 minutes |
From the above, it becomes clear that only the 24-hour plot is guaranteed to show the highest gust recorded during the display interval of the plot. This also explains why the wind values displayed at any given time on the 6-Hour plot will likely differ slightly from those shown on the 24-Hour and 7-Day plots.
