Showing all 5 destinations.
modelled windy
The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts January 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 January among its best months.
riders' months
A spot names January 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.
3 destinations
A spot's modelled series reaches 50% of January days or more. That share is enough on its own: a destination here may or may not also have a spot naming January among its best months.
