Wind speed measurement

Post by vzlgdu »

Hi,

I'm noob with Netatmo weather station, so sorry for my questions.

I read that the measurement frequency is 5 minutes, so my question is: is the frequency enough to read wind speed? if the frequency is every 5 minutes, I will lose all peaks wind...

Please help me to understand.

Thanks

This:

https://helpcenter.netatmo.com/en-us/sm ... meter-work

States the Anenometer reports: 1.) "Average speed and direction in the last 5 minutes," 2.) "Gust speed and direction in the last 5 minutes," and 3.) "Maximum gust (speed and direction) in the day (since midnight)."

Because of the word "Average" I do not take that to mean only one reading every 5 minutes, it takes many -- well, at least more than 1 -- and calculates an average.

How many readings does it take every 5 minutes? Documentation does not say, that I can find. If you want to know suggest you ask Netatmo (LeGrande) support and then report back here, I'm also curious to know.
