Try not to worry! (Easy to say) you can google for charts of average peak flows for age.

You will always get some variations when doing peak flow. That’s why you are told to do it 3X and mark best score. Nothing for you to worry about.

If I have understood correctly peak flow is generally higher in the evening than in the morning.

My average is 250 and fluctuate around 50 below and above. Your readings are amazing, I wish I had your lung capacity!
