<![CDATA[Same place - opposite wind direction - no sense!]]>I am presently in Tiree (near Scotland). The large scale map shows the wind coming from the north and flowing south but the localised forecast (for example for Gott Bay) shows exactly the opposite. I would welcome an explanation.

wx. model forecasts wind from 140 / 5 kts
and Tiree airport reports 130 / 6 kts.

As you don’t say which model you are using, I checked wind forecast by ECMWF
On Tiree wind is forecast South East, confirmed by Airport weather station, and further north off Coll, it is North.
Look like a convergence zone.
