The graph shows how often and how strongly the wind blows from
different directions through a typical April. The biggest spokes
point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and
the shade of blue suggests the strength, with the strongest
winds shown by the darkest shade of blue. It is based on 1614
NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2007, at 3hr intervals, for
the closest NWW3 model node to Deauville, located 16 km away (10
miles). There are too few recording stations world wide to use
actual wind data. Invevitably some coastal places have very
localized wind effects that would not be predicted by NWW3.
According to the model, the prevailing wind at Deauville blows
from the WNW. If the rose graph shows a fairly circular pattern,
it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Deauville.
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 April, the model
suggests that win
