I found discrepancies between wind numeric value and its representation

The wind vector shows 5 kt less than the numeric value when the speed is divisible by 5 kt.
If it is due to unit conversion and rounded value, e.g. 64 km/h = ~34.56 kt, rounded value = 35 kt, I suggest to round the vector to the closest value instead of rounding down, in the example vector of 35 kt instead of 30 kt.

Moreover, it is possible to show the wind vector for 5 kt with the short line at the second position like the third picture
