Interesting. The wind chill line joining the temperature line at 50F is the same as the other thread, and is working as designed, but it's very odd that the temperature line flattens out like that. That looks like a bug. I wonder if I have a limit of 50 degrees for bad data and I'm assuming Celsius where I do the check. I'll have a look.

The threshold I have for a false temperature reading for Fine Offset stations is 70 degrees, and I'm definitely comparing with a value in Celsius anyway. So that looks like a problem with your station, unless I've missed something.

Is anyone else using Fahrenheit with a Fine Offset station? Have you had a temperature recorded over 50F?

Not sure what you mean by 'dipped the other way'. That looks fine to me after about 2200.
