      Hi All,

      I'm referring to the basic wind view...

      I understand "Gusts" is the max wind strength.

      But what is the definition of the "Wind" metric?

      Is it an average or minimum wind strength?

      Is there some sort of documentation on all the metrics?

      Thank you!

        Hi,
        Wind is understood as the mean wind over a 10 minutes time frame, at 10 metres high, according WMO.
