Feature Request - Wind Multiplier

Post by jcbago »

Boris, would it be possible to add a wind multiplier to the station's page under local settings?

I personally think this would be a great idea. Large trees are a big problem in my area, as it relates to capturing accurate wind speeds. Huge 100+ footers all over the place. Nobody gets accurate wind readings.

A wind multiplier will not account for less than perfect locations and certainly would not make a bad situation better, way too many variables, almost every point of the compass could be affected differently.

While not being a friend of pimping wind data, I will add the feature as I get these request again and again.

Although providing the feature, I recommend not to use it, it makes your readings less factual.
