@vees The wind vector map is from an open source weather station package called WeeWX https://www.weewx.com . The vector diagram shows a good wind summary to fit within Mastodon limits, but it also has other wind graphs. You are correct that the vector would be hidden for due north/south winds, but the wind rarely stays in one direction here! #weathertools #weewx

Just in time for Lee, Radarscope adds extreme wind warnings, impact tags, emergency and PDS polygons, and brings local storm reports to Tier 1 subscribers. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/radarscope/id288419283 #weathertools
