I have a strange problem. Both Wind Speed and Gust are always reported as zero - but are accurately picked up by the API. Please see sample below from apiLog.txt. The station is reporting Wind and Gust > 0;however, meteotemplateLive.txt is reporting zeros.

Replying to my own post ...
As usual, Jachym found the error in short order. Somehow I had zeros (instead of 1's) in my multipliers for both rain and wind. A quick update to 1's for both and all is good again.
Thanks, Jachym!
