WeatherSTEM Fusion - Wind

Shown below are two graphs. The top graph shows the average daily wind speed at _______________ for one week and the bottom one shows the direction from which the wind was blowing.

Find a partner and discuss the graphs using these questions as a guide:

  • On which day was the wind the strongest? What was the speed?
  • Which day was it the weakest? What was the speed?
  • Look at the two graphs together. Can you see any patterns between the wind speed and direction? Is the wind strongest when it is coming from any certain direction?
