I think I have found a problem concerning wind gusts. I have a Davis Vantage Pro2 and Weewx 3.7.1. I select loop_hilo=False and the windgust are not recorder in database! But, if I restart WEEWX with a new database, the old entries that are added to the database, contain the correct wingust data. I think weewx ignores the wingust data read from the station at each archive interval. If weewx reads old data from the station's memory, then these contain the correct windgust data.
