windSPOT shows the movement of the wind in the different altitudes for the chosen place. The coordinate axes of the map show the coordinates of the selected place and the surrounding. 
The altitude is given in meters above ground or pressure level.
The colors indicate the wind speeds, and are shown in the legend. The wind speeds are given in km/h.

The windSPOT legend has detail steps from 0-90 km/h. Above 90 km/h, no more details are shown, because these speeds occur rarely, and when they occur, they occur often over an entire area (and not unevenly distributed). Also, their temporal and altitude distribution is more important than their spatial distribution. For speeds above 90 km/h, the AIR meteogram will provide more useful details about wind speed. The large scale distribution is shown in the maps.

The windSPOT diagram always centers exactly on the selected location, for any place on Earth: you will always see the conditions in the are surrounding the location which you selected. 
The windSPOT represents a map section of 1x1 degrees , and thus includes about 100 kilometers in latitude and longitude. To provide world-wide availability, it uses a simplified set of maps, on which only the country's borders, main water bodies and rivers are displayed. For orientation, the coordinate lines are shown on the edge of the graph.

To get a better orientation, you can click the "Show on map" button in the black bar above the windSPOT. Then you will see an overview map of the area that displays places, administrative boundaries, rivers and (after respective selection) also the terrain elevation. If necessary, you can use this map for reference in the area.

If you want to view a larger area, you simply create two adjacent windSPOT diagrams.

windSPOT can be created anywhere on the world: 

• in cities and in the countryside;
• on land and sea;
• in valleys and on mountains;

Use our Global location search (GLOS) to find any place on earth. Then choose the AIR tab and windSPOT. You will need a p☼int+ subscription for this special service.

If the windSPOT does not show, choose a location 1-10 kilometers away from the selected place. This error may occasionally happen on domain boundaries. We appreciate, if you report the location to meteoblue.
