      Hi Folks,

      I love Windy, us it every day. So much information available to weather lovers!

      Is there a way to allow the wind barbs on your charts to face the correct way in the southern hemisphere?

      See image for correct direction of barbs.

        Hi,
        For wind direction, Windy uses animated particles, not wind barbs. And they show the correct direction of wind in Southern Hemisphere i.e. clockwise in cyclonic areas (Lows) and counter clockwise in anticyclonic areas (Highs)
        Exactly the opposite to Northern Hemisphere.
