Not only for pilot it will be useful but also for sailors, I would say that 90% of inshore regattas are governed by this meteo event.
On lake of lecco/como, we have 2 wind, Tivano, from North from around 05-06:00L till 10:00L and later the Breva from south from 12-13:00 till 16-17:00 (maybe you are more familiar with those on Lago di Garda, l'Ora and Peler).
We are using also the graphic of the Swiss Pressure Gradient of the Foehn to have a trend indication.
As I'm an ex pilot with aeronautical Technical’s degree at high shcool and a decade at airspace engineers, it's sad to see sailors don't assimilate the concept of Thermal (in theory with a barometer it's possible to make some forecast of the field).

In short: Sailing Photographer and Astro-Photographer, Sailor, ex Airspace Engineer Student, ex Aircraft Pilot
Long:
I born in Italy but my blood is made by: 50% ita, 25% uk, 24% esp (plus others influency like usa, australia, swiss)...
I grew in a real international space, so I've a real wide mind....
I love sports, and I tried many.
I love technologies, it's why I study airspace (I'm not an astronaut.... in that case I just want be the pilot of the shuttle).
Fly has been my life, I hope after the degree to restart it, in particular aerobatic, just amazing... Mean while, in the last period I tried sailing, at high level,.... and I could change to live only doing race boat........
Now Sail and shooting it, it's my life, so wonderful...
Take care,
Alex P.
