Note that 22 vs 15 is suspiciously like km/hr instead of mi/hr; if it
were 12 knots then 22 km/hr would match.
I would suggest:
read the 5-n-1 manual to see how it deals with units, and if this is
configurable.
if you have an acurite console, compare what it displays to what you
see in weewx
use rtl_433 to receive the 5n1 signals (rtl-sdr dongle required) and
compare that
run weewx so that you see the debug messages of LOOP packets and look
at those
look at your archive database directly with "sqlite3 weewx.sdb
.dump" and find the wind columns and look at the values *
read your config file and double check units and any stdcalibrate
statements
* This script plots temperature into xplot format. I am not telling you
to use xplot, but it's an example of getting data out directly, which
you should be able to adapt. Keep in mind that this will show the
values in the units of your database.
echo "timeval double"
sqlite3 weewx.sdb "select dateTime, outTemp, dewpoint from archive order by
dateTime;" | \
awk -F\| '{print ". " $1 " " $2 " 1"} {print ". " $1 " " $3 " 2"}'
or do
sqlite3 weewx.sdb "select dateTime, usUnits, windSpeed, windGust from archive
order by dateTime;"
Also this is helpful:
sqlite3 weewx.sdb .schema
