        Have you compared the different weather models which are available in your country? Here is the forecast by NAM together with local weather stations reporting wind. All these stations are personal weather stations (labelled madis or pws) and they don’t report the same wind direction, some opposite to their neighbours. Why? Probably because they are not located in a suitable place, without buildings, trees around, at correct height (10m)...

        I have found only one official weather station at an airport which, it, shows a consistent direction
