This plot shows the prevailing wind direction (red squares) and the average wind speed (white line) over the past several days. The graph is useful for determining at a glance the current wind direction trend and relative strength.

This anemometer is on a hill about 80 feet above sea level. The winds here can vary from nothing to very strong, depending on the time of year.

On light breezy or calm days, the direction readings will probably vary dramatically. When the wind is strong, you will see a definite pattern to the wind direction.
