Well, I had to wait for some wind first. Now, after sunset, wind seems to be growing. And this is the latest archive record:
REC: 2020-07-23 20:50:00 CEST (1595530200) altimeter: 29.94844953418796, appTemp: 64.63492618774067, barometer: 29.897333333333336, beaufort: 0.4444444444444444, cloudbase: 2464.8536620841987, dateTime: 1595530200, dewpoint: 53.68325395886734, ET: 0.000133188221454822, extraTemp1: 133.6604, heatindex: 64.06666666666666, humidex: 68.17774431413599, inDewpoint: 61.099461593234274, inHumidity: 75.77777777777777, inTemp: 69.07777777777778, interval: 5.0, maxSolarRad: 10.611708312518399, outHumidity: 69.0, outTemp: 64.06666666666666, pressure: 29.83233333333333, radiation: 15.47888888888889, rain: 0.0, rainEvent: 0.0, rainRate: 0.0, txBatteryStatus: 0.0, usUnits: 1, UV: 0.0, windchill: 64.06666666666666, windDir: 171.3974954238297, windGust: 4.92, windGustDir: 202.0, windrun: 0.08481481481481483, windSpeed: 1.017777777777778 At least, there is a value for beaufort. But it is still displayed as 0 bft in the skin. To be sure, I will have to wait for more wind, until tomorrow. kind of curious Peter Am Donnerstag, 23.
