Showing all 5 destinations.

What modelled windy, riders' months and no series mean

modelled windy

The modelled series at one of the destination's spots puts May 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 May among its best months.

riders' months

A spot names May 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.

Riders name it; the model does not

4 destinations

A spot lists May among its best months and the modelled share is below half. These are not weaker places: both figures are drawn and neither is adjusted.
