A wind rose is a circular plot that depicts the frequencies of various wind directions over the course of some specified period of time, for a certain area. This wind rose, in particular, shows the wind speed in the Bellaire area. According to this graph, the wind speed in Bellaire is on the lower side, as the North winds cool the summer and winter, the south winds being blocked by the hardwood forest that is found to the south of the city, and the west winds which happen to be their primary source of exposure to winds. Maps such as these are great for a number of reasons, ranging from deciding how to design a golf course to regular inquires on climate.
