Since you have rapidfire on WU should be being fed the loop windSpeed values. The loop windSpeed values appear in gauge-data.txt in the wlatest field not the wspeed field you are using; wspeed is the 'average wind speed' which will be the average wind speed over an archive period or 5 minutes depending on settings. The wgust used by your page is the highest wind speed seen over the last 10 minutes, that seems approriate though I am not sure exactly what WU uses.
Direction wise you are using fields bearing and domwinddir, bearing will be the direction corresponding to the loop windSpeed value so that seems appropriate but domwinddir is the vector average wind direction for today. Your brackets around domwinddir seem to imply it is the compas point equvalent of bearing which it isn't, if that is what you intend then perhaps you need to express bearing as a compass point either in the code on your page or in the source gauge-data.txt.
