How is the wind direction calculated?

[supermonkey7]

Is the wind direction based on the average within the 8 o'clock timeframe? Or is it based on the strongest wind calculation within the 8 o'clock timeframe? Or is it showing a direction when it changes?

@supermonkey7 Hello, wind direction is based on a weather model calculation. More details can be found at https://community.windy.com/topic/2770/wind-direction
