The multiple units data in the wind field is appreciated. If "show bft" is activated it would be nice to see that also reflected in the gusts-line.
Thanks for a wonderful tool!

Cheers,

Hi,

Certainly not.

The Beaufort scale is an empirical unit based on observing the visual effects of the wind.
It is used to estimate the average wind speed over a relatively long period of time (10 minutes),
while gust are mesured over a very short period (3 seconds).
It makes no sense to confuse the two.

I don't understand your sexist title.
There is no difference between the ignorance of a man and that of a woman about it.
