Windrose: Fresno, California


A windrose is a small graph that packs a lot of information. This graph shows how wind and all of its characteristics affect a specific region. It can measure the frequency, duration, speed, and direction pertaining to the wind and measure over a certain area. This map here represents 30 years of data taken at hourly increments over Fresno, California in the month of April. We can see that the heaviest winds came from the North West and how long they lasted.
