Weather Underground wind speed **solved**

Hello,
Looking at the wind data for my station on Weather Underground and comparing it with other networks (windy and APRS), I find discrepant values.
On Weather Underground seem to be used only Gust values and not the average speed value.

I don't understand if this is a problem of weather underground or related to the data sent from meteobridge.

I guess it depends on what you (and/or MB) send to the different places: WU, Meteotemplate.

You can make a test for WU (or Meteotemplate) and deactivate the MB WU service and send your own defined data via services/events as a http post to WU. (however, you need to know the WU API description for that, i.e. what data in which format WU expects).
Because you can cannot change the preset weather service posts, but you can use your own post where you can manipulate the data.

Then you can play with the different wind variables from Meteobridge using different values.
For this you will have to look into the Meteobridge/Templates section of the WiKi to see how the API string you sent has to look like for wind speed, average wind 10 min, average wind 1 hour .... etc.

Yes, this is also my opinion. I need to write my own script to send data to WU.

Issue resolved disabling the Weather Underground wheather network and implementing a HTTP Upload Event using the following URL:

I'm glad you found a solution for yourself. But isn't the way Meteobridge itself sends data to Weather Underground wheather network flawed?

Can you explain that?

If the correct wind data is transmitted with HTTP Upload Event, but not with meteobridge Weather Underground upload in Weathernetwork Tab?

Or have I misunderstood something?

Using the "standard" Weather network for "Weather Underground", Wind speed and Wind Gust were de same.
this is (I suppose) caused by my virtual weather station that compute and return as wind speed the wind "gust" in the past 10 minutes and as average the "wind average speed the past 10 minutes average.

I don't know why other "standard" weather network does not have the same issue and display the wind speed (end gust speed) well.

But using the above string to send data to to weather underground, speed and gust is showed well also on WU.

Some URL to check:

I can't support this.
The issue I have found could be depended by my meteobridge configuration. I only tryed to send data to weather underground in a way that I supposed was the correct way and verified is it.

But I don't know if other meteobridge users have my same issue sending data to W.U.

Are you sending data to Weather Underground and experienced the same issue (same speed for average and gust wind speeds)?

My wind speed and wind gust are practically the same on WU graph, but the chart shows how it should be. Using the weather network tab settings
