        wind direction (from where the wind comes). in degrees.
        e.g. 360=North, 090=East, 180=South, 270=West.
        As 090=East, the figure 100 means East, slightly Southeast

          @ErnstPlett this is the direction the wind is coming from 0-360° clockwise. 0° being North.

            As the above question is often asked,
            I think you have to put the degrees symbol (°) next to direction numbers.

                Ha, Ha, Ha ! You are right!
                Here in Europe we understand that 100 degrees is not temperature but our American friends think 100 degrees is a (relatively) normal temperature as 100F=36C

                    The direction is because of pilots

                      Thanks for the answer. The numbers should of course have a degree-sign as well.

                        Not all users of windy are pilots. So an option to choose how that will be displayed would be helpful
