Thanks for the clarification, I updated the code so:

wlatest = current wind speed

wgust = 10 minute high wind gust

bearing = current wind direction

wgustTM = today's highest wind gust

TwgustTM = time of today's highest wind gust

Incidentally, for anyone else who comes down this path, there's good
documentation on the variables used by the Real Time Gauge here:
