Isobars and wind not correlating
-
Displayed isobars do not always correlate to wind direction shown in my edge browser. The issue also appears in chrome. The idea that this is a bug my result from my faulty understanding of meteorology. If it is a problem, it seems possible that the data used for isobars and wind may come from different models or is updated at different times. Alternatively, both may be from the same model, accurate and timely but illustrate inherent uncertainty in the model that are is apparent from a display of only one measure. If the two measures are supposed to display consistently then it would be helpful to have them integrated when displayed.

You show a screenshot in the South Hemisphere.
In this hemisphere in high pressure areas (Highs, Anticyclones) winds are Anticlockwise while they are Clockwise in the low pressure areas (Lows, Depression).
And the opposite in North Hemisphere.
As Windy gives an easy access to all parts of the world, it is a good solution to test your meteorology knowledges :)
This has no connection with your browser.Or are you meaning something else? That the plotting of isobars does not match so well the wind direction? In other words that the High 1034 is not perfectly above the no wind area?
