Oops, you found a bug. There was a comment meaning "peak wind 40 knots"
that sometimes got used instead of the average/gust data. The real data:
95/05/05-0950 SFO 55 46 310 30 34 20 29.93 20 sct 47 sct 200 sct
95/05/05-1059 SFO 56 45 310 31 39 20 31.65 20 sct 47 sct
95/05/05-1150 SFO 57 45 290 25 34 20 29.94 20 sct 45 sct /
95/05/05-1250 SFO 58 45 290 31 38 30 31.85 45 sct
95/05/05-1354 SFO 59 45 300 32 39 30 29.96 45 sct / sc vcnty stn
Not as impressive. Oh well.
