What is the symbol of the wind direction?

Wind direction symbols are generally represented by wind columns with tail feathers, in which the tail feathers of wind symbols above grade 8 are pennants.

Symbol: It consists of wind stems and wind feathers.

Wind handle: indicates the direction of the wind, with 8 directions.

Wind feather: 3 or 4 short strokes and triangles indicate strong wind, perpendicular to the right side of the wind pole (northern hemisphere).

1- horizontal 2: 1 vertical line 1 horizontal line.

Grade 3-4: 1 vertical bar, 2 horizontal bars.

Grade 5-6: 1 vertical bar, 3 horizontal bars.

Grade 7-8: 1 vertical bar, 4 horizontal bars.

Above level 8: 1 vertical bar 1 triangle is like a small flag.

Precautions:

In fact, in nature, the wind sometimes exceeds 12. For example, the central wind force of a strong typhoon or tornado may be much larger than the magnitude of 12, but the wind above the magnitude of 12 is rare, so the magnitude is generally not specified.

In the weather forecast, we often hear the expression "the north wind is 4 to 5", in which the wind refers to the average wind; If you hear the expression "gust 7", gust refers to the wind with high and low wind speed, and the wind at this time refers to the maximum wind force.
