Wind Predictor can help you predict the wind!
On most days, the wind for today will be similar to the wind of yesterday. Thus, if you overlay the wind speed over time from yesterday on a graph with the wind speed over time for today, you may be lucky enough to spot a pattern. See the example below. Can you spot a pattern?
"History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes."
Wind is autocorrelated. That is, wind is correlated with itself. That means that if it is windy today, it'll likely be windy tomorrow. In this way, the wind conditions of today "rhyme" with those of the previous day...to borrow from Twain's quote above.
Wind Predictor allows a user to view and compare windspeed data from different time periods. The most obvious comparison is between today's wind (already in progress) and yesterday's wind. With some reliability, the visual comparison between the two will give some clue as to what the future holds, and the user can predict what the wind strength will be for the remainder of the day.
There are other points of comparison available in the Wind Predictor. The user may view the windspeed from other days, aside from yesterday. The user may view all days in the data set -- 45 days worth of data. By looking at the data from different aspects, the user can then have a better idea of what is a normal, average, or typical wind pattern -- e.g. generally speaking, the wind may be light in the morning and heavy in the afternoon.
You may be the sailor deciding whether to go with the big sail (for light wind) or the small sail (for heavy wind). Or you may be someone who wants to know which jacket to wear for the evening walk. Either way, this app aims to help you predict the wind.
