VP & Vigilant Wind Gusts
 
  This is a sample of wind gust readings we recorded. The Vigilant is a wired gauge by Maximum
Weather Instruments. It is a dial type gauge and is very responsive to the gusts. I was a bit surp
rised to see the VP record higher gusts in the range of 20-30 mph, above that the Vigilant seems
to record the gust higher than the VP. The anemometers are 3ft apart and the VP is 1ft higher.
The Vigilnt has larger cups and spins oposite the VP. The stats also show what VWS reports to
Wunderground revealing its slow response and lower wind readings
