If I recall correctly, wind gusts are only displayed in a METAR If gusts exceed the average wind speed by 10kts or more in the 10 minutes preceding the time of the report. The increase between 6kts to 7kts does not equal 10kts.
Noticed this with other surrounding airports in the same area/region of South America.
So what would it show if there wasnāt over a gust 10ā¦ Would the meter just become red? That is my question. I am totally blank on the usage of the METAR (Even though I can read em)
Not always. Definitely not always. If youāre unfortunate enough to go to an airport with gusts then you get that.
This topic is also not about wind gusts, itās the fact that the METAR is doing something itās not supposed to which is put the standard winds and put the gust as only 1kn greater than that.
If the winds are 6kn gusting to 7kn, the METAR shouldnāt put that.
Check the metar I sent!
The difference is 9 wich is smaller than 10.
I know the problem isnāt the same as the other topicā¦
I sent the link to the other topic, because it could be related. (I donāt think it is, but could beā¦)
š¤¦š¼āāļø My bad, I overlooked that part. Sorry š
I checked a few airports and they donāt show any gusts in the METAR. Same thing for CYYZ and SENL
