How to read the wind direction and wind speed in the weather?

The direction pointed by the mast is the direction of the wind, that is, the direction in which the wind blows. As shown in the upper right picture, the wind direction is northeast wind. Here, the unit of wind speed is knots (miles per hour), and its conversion relationship is: 1 knots = 1.15mph = 1 knots =1km/hour. In the figure, each short stroke on the mast represents 5Knot, and each long stroke represents 65438+. The figure on the right shows the numerical value represented by each symbol on the wind vane.
