WHERE IS THE WIND MOSTLY COMING FROM ?
#40741 - 05/11/05 08:52 PM

With the bow and arrow, I have not yet shot any game this year in France.

I would like to make up for the lost time..........NO WAY.

For more than a month, the wind is permanently shifting, ruining any bow-hunt.

Usually, here in the East of France (continental climate) the wind is most of the time coming from the West, from the Atlantic ocean,often bringing rain but it is less cold than the east's.

Where is the wind coming from where You are living, have You an own particular wind?

larcher,

When hnting Sambar deer in the forests, the wind goes up and down the
hillsides differently depending on what time of the day, morning or evening
PLUS which side the hillsides is facing.

Other more open areas - because of the heat you get small wind swirls
(very small non destructive tornado shape funnels that pick up dust etc)
and these can blow your scent all over the place.

In the Northwest of America it comes mostly from the South West. From the Pacific Ocean and brings Rain.

When it comes from the North West it brings Snow.

We have strong south-easterlies right through the dry season here in Northern Australia. The problem times are during the wet-season, when not much hunting is done anyway, and the 'build-up' at the end of the dry season when humidity rises rapidly each afternoon. Its my favourite time of year to hunt (see this story) but not without challenges!

Every area has a prevailing wind. If you want to know an easy way to find it just check the runway headings at the closest airports. They're almost always aligned with the prevailing winds.

Runway headings are two digit numbers... 010 is rounded to 01, 100 is rounded to 10, 200 is rounded to 20, etc...
