    • Wind speed definition/ missing info HURRICANE , CYCLONE

      Very basic important info is missing from the windy app. "Wind speed" is shown in forecasts by ECMWF, GFS and ICON, but there is NO clarification of what time average is displayed by each model. Searching the Internet gives no clear answer. All the following time periods are used in various countries:
      10 minute averages
      2 minute averages
      1 minutes averages.

      The above makes a big difference, since the averages can lead to different danger for the exact same storm and location.

      The wind gust definition is also not clear, except that one can assume that its the highest instantaneous wind speed?

      Can the developers please clarify what time period averages are used for each model make sure to update it if there is every any change?
