Wind

Heads up: this is a partly thermal spot: on sunny days a thermal adds to the wind, so it's usually stronger than the averages below show. The windy days include part of our modelled thermal days, as some of them turn a light day into a windy one or even bring sufficient wind. The average wind speeds don't include the thermal.
