Wind systems at this spot

At the measuring station in Westermarkelsdorf the wind mostly comes from the west, east and south-west.

The drivers

Upper wind west/east

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

This wind depends on the large-scale weather pattern. When it blows strongly from one direction, the surface wind usually comes from a similar one.

Upper wind north/south

The wind is calculated and displayed at an altitude of approximately 1.5 km (850 hPa) above the spot: the northern component is shown at the top, and the southern component at the bottom.

A strong southern component precedes fronts, while a northern component often brings cooler air.
