<![CDATA[How do you compute the wind speed and wind direction for your station?]]>Hi,

I have a personal weather station reporting data to windy. My question about the variables wind speed and wind direction. I am sending data to windy every 5 minutes and right now, I am gathering the wind speed and direction just before reporting it to windy. Wouldn't it be more correct to get the average data for this 5 minutes? I am getting readings in my station every few seconds so I could compute that. Also; i understand that the wind gust should be the maximun wind speed in this five minutes. Is that correct?

I am using a ecowitt wittboy and I send the data to my home assistant. It is home assistant who sends the data to windy api. So I can perform any computation needed over the data prior to sending it.
