Hi,
I have a weather station with Raspberry Pi and a WeatherFlow Tempest sensor. It has been working perfectly for a few months. Suddenly it is reporting an incorrect wind speed on windguru. On the Weatherflow app for iPhone it says 10 knots which is accurate according to the reality. However, on windguru it's showing 15-18 knots, or something like that. In other words, higher than it really is. I've had this issue in the past with a kph/mph conversion error within python. Could it be something like this?
It's just very strange because a few days ago it was accurate and I didn't make any change or update to the Raspberry Pi. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thank you.

No idea what your problem is (though what you describe is suggestive of something having been changed) but the first thing to do is to see exactly what WeeWX is posting to Windguru. To do this edit weewx.conf, set debug = 2 and restart WeeWX. You should now find entries in the WeeWX log showing exactly what is being posted to Windguru.
