Fine Offset stations measure wind over 48-second intervals, divided into 24 2-second intervals. At the end of each 48-second period, they report the highest of those 24 values as 'Gust', and the average of those 24 values as 'Wind'.

At the end of each 48-second period, they report the highest of those 24 values as 'Gust', and the average of those 24 values as 'Wind'. Cumulus, for various reasons, uses different terminology, and also has configuration settings which control how some of the wind values are displayed. | ||
The 'Gust' value is displayed in Cumulus as 'Latest'. Cumulus displays the highest of those values over the previous 10 minutes as 'Gust'. | The 'Gust' value is displayed in Cumulus as 'Latest'. Cumulus displays the highest of those values over the previous 10 minutes as 'Gust'. | ||
