What is wind radar?

@karlosgm Windy strives to be as accurate as possible . There are several different weather models available on Windy. The ECMWF is probably the most accurate. ICON EU is a new model introduced here a couple of months ago and can forecast most of Iceland.

What is an isobar? Isobars are lines of constant or equal pressure on a weather map . They can be used to find areas of low or high pressure over a broad area (like the U.S.), and they can tell us how intense the system may be.

Beyond sunshine and rain, AccuWeather can give details on wind speed, solar ultraviolet radiation (UV) levels, humidity, cloud cover, visibility, and more. It’s undoubtedly one of the best weather apps out there for the depth and precision of its data. AccuWeather is free for Android and iOS.

A wind profiler is a type of weather observing equipment that uses radar or sound waves (SODAR) to detect the wind speed and direction at various elevations above the ground . Readings are made at each kilometer above sea level, up to the extent of the troposphere (i.e., between 8 and 17 km above mean sea level).

Sustained wind speeds around 20 mph, or frequent gusts of 25 to 30 mph. ” No Discernable Threat to Life and Property from High Wind.” The sustain wind speeds are non-threatening ; “breezy” conditions may still be present. Note: In “High Wind” conditions, small branches break off trees and loose objects are blown about.

Breezy is described as a sustained wind speed from 15-25 mph. Windy is a sustained wind speed from 20-30 mph .
