Thomas, it isn’t that weewx reports a wind speed of zero. WU accepts (and
expects) that. The issue is that weewx suppresses reporting the vane position
when wind speed is zero. If the vane position is not present in the data, WU
believes that the station does not support wind.
I believe that the correct behavior is that if the physical station reports the
vane position, it should be conveyed through to WU. This would match the
behavior of other software, and is what WU expects.
W.C., for the Vantage, the fix is trivial. Just comment out or delete the lines
that remove windDir from the report.
