How to read this map

Colours show modelled mean wind speed. Moving arrows show the direction of surface flow, with faster movement in stronger winds. Their animation is illustrative.

The colour key adjusts to the selected day and stays the same across its three times. Check the key when comparing days.

Forecast winds at different elevations are combined with the terrain model. Modelled detail is not a measurement, and fine terrain does not establish equally fine wind accuracy.

Low mean wind on lee slopes does not guarantee calm. Gusts, rotors and separated flow around cliffs are not resolved reliably. Use the main mountain forecast for your plans. This is not a free-flight assessment.
