OWM wind values too low
Posted: Wednesday 12 July 2023 16:54
I am using OWM to keep an eye on the windspeeds to close my sunscreens.
The problem is that whether I use the lat,long location in the domiticz settings, enter lat,long in the OWM hardware or even use a city ID number for Utrecht, the values I get seem to be way to low.
Where OWM gives me windspeed 2.2m/s and gust 2.7m/s (save to keep the sunscreens down) this does not reflect what I experience outside
when I check other websites and apps, they seem to be accurate (accuweather: windspeed 8m/s and gust 16m/s. Weatherapp: wind 12m/s, KNMI: Windkracht 4 = 8m/s )
Those are values where I definitely need to put the sunscreen up. Does anyone experience the same issues and knows how to fix this?
