Eyemouth Wind Stats

The figure describes how commonly and how strongly the wind blows from different directions over a normal November. The longest spokes point in the directions the wind most commonly blows from and the shade of blue indicates the strength, with the darkest shade of blue showing the strongest winds. It is based on 2867 NWW3 forecasts of wind since since 2006, at 3hr intervals, for the closest NWW3 model node to Eyemouth, located 15 km away (9 miles). There are insufficient 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 dominant wind at Eyemouth blows from the NNE. If the rose diagram shows a close to circular outline, it means there is no strong bias in wind direction at Eyemouth. Converseley, dominant spokes illustrate favoured directions, and the more dark blue, the stronger the wind. Spokes point in the direction the wind blows from. During a typical November, the model suggests that winds are light enough for the sea to be glassy (light blue) about 2% of the time (1 days each November) and blows offshore just 14% of the time (1 days in an average November). Over an average November winds stronger than >40kph (25mph) are expected on 2 days at Eyemouth
