not sure where to post this...
ended up being a windier than normal June here
see my WD generated windrose, not often I get the light blue (25 knot average speed)

I like that - not seen one before. Do you want to upload it as an attachment, incase you change or delete the file from your server?

Gosh! That makes about 60% of the time your average wind was over 25kts!! And all that 60% within just a 90deg window!! Some narrow wind band and continuous blow! How do the clothes stay on the line?

Hmmm, now we need a WINDY icon...

[TokWW]

Today dawned clear and slightly foggy - comments elsewhere, now bright sunshine - oh for a solar sensor!! Soon, I promise! Frosty and cold ride to work, wind has been calm overnight and still only an occasional murmour. Still direction not swirling and very steady on S - SE (despite only 2m above the roof...) Baro has risen steadily to 1017.3 and the temp is now 6.3ºC heading for 12ºC perhaps.

Warming up nicely here atm . Sun feels great- really sun sensitive people like me find this is a great time of year to enjoy the Sun without being burnt.

[ATO2]

That is really good. I like it.

Re Windy's post: There's only a few % (the light blue edges) of 25kt+ average, surely.

That's how I would read it...say around 1 per cent of the time for SW + 25 knots
