Otherside of the Moon Wind Stats

This picture describes how frequently and how strongly the wind blows from different directions through a typical July. The biggest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue implies the strength, with the strongest winds shown by deep blue. It is based on 2976 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Otherside of the Moon, located 3 km away (2 miles). There are too few recording stations world wide to use actual wind data. Without question some coastal places have very localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3. According to the model, the most common wind at Otherside of the Moon blows from the WSW. If the rose plot shows a nearly round shape, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Otherside of the Moon. Converseley, dominant spokes represent favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. Over an average July, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (the lightest shade of blue) about 8% of the time (2 days each July) and blows offshore 30% of the time (9 days in an average July). In a typical July winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 7 days at Otherside of the Moon
