wind rose

A wind rose is a visual tool that shows how often and from which directions the wind blows at a specific location. It displays patterns indicating the most common wind directions and their strength or speed. Imagine it as a circular graph with lines extending outward in different directions, where longer lines represent more frequent winds from that direction. Wind roses help meteorologists, engineers, and planners understand local wind behavior for purposes like weather forecasting, pollution control, and designing buildings. Overall, it provides a clear snapshot of wind patterns over a period.
