Tom, Vince, and Andrew Thanks to all. Tom's solution solved the problem;
no more line on the graph with 0 wind and the wind direction in the loops
is whatever value it had when the wind stopped. Andrew, I did check my wind
vane and it does not drift to a particular position when windspeed = 0.
If the wind is zero the vane will be in a random position - if the pole is
not perfectly vertical there may be a tendency for the vane to move, under
the force of graviy, to a particular direction. The station will report
the vane position regardless of wind strength. It is weewx which will

Tom: thank you for your quick (as usual) reply:
I did have ignore_zero_wind = False. I had put in a comment that I did this
to try and prevent Wunderground for posting incorrectly when my speed = 0,
but I had forgotten to switch it back. It is kind of windy right now, so I
will get back to you
Setting wind direction to null when wind speed is zero is now done by the
service StdWxCalculate. This way it is consistent across all drivers.
Option ignore_zero_wind turns this behavior on or off. The default is true,
so I have no explanation for why your experience would be any different.

Hello: I did the upgrade to 3.5 from 3.2.1 Everything appears to be
functioning properly with one exception: There has been a change in the
appearance of my wind direction chart.
This is how it looks now:[image: Hi Wind]
Before the upgrade, when the windspeed =0, there were no dots plotted
