Meteotemplate Forum

On the Current Conditions block, under Wind Speed - it has the current daily Wind Run. I quite like looking at the Wind Run but I can't seem to find anywherer else where it displays the info. Can it be added into the other daily records or in the graphs and show the daily wind run for whatever day we want to look at?

Cheers,
Caleb

Hi,
it is in the summary table of each Daily report.
I agree it is not everywhere, but I personally see this as a bit redundant piece of info. The reason is that it is directly and linearly proportional to average daily wind speed. If we assume the avg wind speed is in km/h or mph, then its simply this number multiplied by 24. So basically just like expressing the wind speed in different units. Day with highest avg wind speed will have the highest wind run, day with double the wind speed compared to other day will have double the wind run etc.

However as I said, it is included in the reports which you can view for any day, month etc.

Jachym you're taking all the fun out of reading nonsense, my daft head thinks if the wind had caught a leaf today, it would have blown it all the way to Cornwall (301km) for free. I have the wind run shown on my Cumulus interface and it's always interesting on a windy day to look how much wind has passed by.

Crayleb, another interesting way to look at this is by installing the steelSeries plugin, if you make sure you include the Windrose dial, it shows the windrun inset within the dial (Odometer) On my site it's the sixth dial:

OK, I guess I could use it more then Although its just a simple multiplication by 24 Anyone can do it in their head, Im sure

Ok - so I totally missed the reading in the daily values - thanks for pointing that out Yes it is a simple calculation but it is still a fun calculation. I might add it in myself on the records page. I agree we don't want clutter like a lot of other weather websites - it just makes them look terrible and is one of the many things I love about Meteotemplate is that it looks great - so I understand your reason for not wanting to add stuff just for the sack of it but me personally it is something I like to look at - not sure about others thou.

The update link for V3.0 this block doesn’t seem to be working...

It was not working first 20 minutes, should be fine now
