What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts February at half its days or more with three or more hours over 12 knots. That share is enough on its own: a spot here may or may not also name February among its best months.

riders' months

A spot names February among its best months while the model reads under half. Both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.

no series

No spot at the destination carries a usable modelled series, so the months are the ones riders and schools name.

Modelled windy in February

1 destinations

A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of February days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming February among its best months.
