I have the daily Max wind gust displaying using a template but have found that it doesn't always show the highest speed. Today I had two gusts over 11 but that is what the daily extreme wind gust is showing. Any ideas?

Are you using the following in your template?
%[daily_extremes]high_outdoor_wind_gust_mph%

Interesting... That should work.... When you compared the gust value that you expected, to the one reported by the template, what were you using as the source? The console? The type of weather station and direct serial versus file monitoring may be an issue.

I am comparing the values that are being uploaded to Wunderground. I also checked the values that are being displayed in the wind gust field in my template. For example, right now it has 7mph for the current gust yet the daily max gust only says 6mph.

Please compare the INI file setting for this value with the screen value (Wind Gust Highs) when the start hours is set to 0, the end hours set to the character M.
When you enter M for the end hours, this means since midnight.
If there is an agreement between the screen and the INI file, we would have to look at some other issue.

Ah ha! I found the issue. I was pulling "high_outdoor_wind_speed_mph%" instead of wind_gust_mph.
Whoops! Thanks for your help!

Glad to hear you found it.
By the way, I am not sure if this was mentioned in the manual, but there is another .INI file with more data that can be used in the templates.
Open the file "WUHU Extremes.ini" with Notepad. This is located in the WUHU Program folder. You just access these like the other variables using the %[section]variable% format. If WUHU cannot find what it needs in currda.lst, it checks the WUHU Extremes.ini files.
If you get a bogus value in the extremes record, exit WUHU, delete the line from the extremes INI file, and it will be re-created when new records arrive.
