Wind: forecast and measurement

↔ swipe to page through the chart

Wind systems at this spot

At Allmannsdorf, a southwest wind works best. The lake runs from west-southwest to east-northeast, and at the eastern end in Allmannsdorf, the southwest wind blows across the entire length of the lake.

Due to the west-east orientation of Lake Brombach, the wind can flow across the lake largely unimpeded. The elevation relative to the natural topography further enhances the wind conditions. Particularly suitable wind directions are southwest to west-southwest, as well as east to southeast. The best wind conditions often occur before and after the passage of low-pressure systems. However, stable easterly wind conditions are also suitable. Winds from the northwest, north, or northeast blow over land and forest and barely reach Allmannsdorf. If northwest winds are forecast, Brombachsee is not the best spot. Thermal winds do not generate wind here.

The above description always refers to the respective measuring station and the model calculated from the measurement data and should not be understood as a general, standard spot guide for the entire lake.

The drivers

Upper wind west/east

Calculated and shown is the wind at about 1.5 km altitude (850 hPa) above the lake: upwards the share from the west, downwards the share from the east, plus the direction (right axis).

At Lake Brombach the wind comes almost only with a westerly weather pattern. The lake runs from west-southwest to east-northeast, and at Allmannsdorf at the eastern end the southwest wind blows in over the whole length of the lake. Only from about 25 knots of west wind aloft was there any wind on the lake at all in our measurements, from about 40 knots in every fifth hour between 8 am and 7 pm.

Wind from the northwest, north or east comes over land and forest and hardly reaches Allmannsdorf. If northwest or east wind is forecast, Lake Brombach is not the best spot.
