![]() ![]() Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Visibility measures the distance at which an object can be clearly seen. Read more about how wind will affect you at the beach. The number is the average wind speed.īeware of offshore winds if you are using inflatables, paddle boards or kayaks. If the arrow points from land to sea, the wind will be blowing out to sea (‘offshore’). The arrow shows the direction of the wind (up is north). The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time. The letters show the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass). The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more. Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak and lull. This gives you a better idea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time. You can see the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit by using the dropdown menu.įeels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This number shows the air temperature for the time period. In the case of snowfall, the total precipitation is given in centimetres.Chance of precipitation represents how likely it is that rain (or other types of precipitation, such as sleet, snow, hail and drizzle) will fall from the sky at a certain time. If the precipitation falls as water or sleet, the total precipitation is given in millimetres. The total precipitation is given in inches. For example in temperatures just above freezing, snowfall with the water content of 10 millimetres of water forms a snow layer 10 centimetres thick on the ground, but in temperatures around -20 degrees Celsius the layer formed by same amount of water is 20 centimetres thick. If the water content of the rain is kept constant, the colder the weather, the thicker a layer the falling snow forms on the ground.įor example in temperatures just above freezing, snowfall with the content of a quarter of an inch of water forms a 2,5 inches thick layer of snow on the ground, but in temperatures around -5 degrees Fahrenheit the same amount of water forms a layer of snow 5 inches thick. Temperatures also affect how much a given amount of snowfall grows the amount of snow on the ground. These factors cause the amount of snow on the ground to grow less than the snowfall amount. The total snowfall refers to the snowfall from the cloud and does not take into account local melting, packing or drifting of snow. The total precipitation forecast gives the expected total precipitation for the whole 24-hour day. Please note that especially in inland locations wind gusts can be up to 1,5 to 2,5 times stronger than the 10-minute average wind speed. The wind forecast shows the strongest expected 10-minute average wind speed of the day. Unlike the daily weather symbol, the temperatures, wind information and total precipitation take into account the whole 24-hour day. Daily temperatures, wind information and total precipitation The cloudiness on the daily weather symbol is calculated as a weighted average of the predicted cloudiness of that day, with most weight assigned to the afternoon hours. You can see the more precise timing and intensity of the rain in the hourly forecast. The rain can be light rain that falls for a longer time period, or a heavy rain of short duration. The amount of rain drops on the daily weather symbol represent the total precipitation amount of that day. The weather in the evening or night time do not show on the symbol. The daily weather symbol gives an overview of the weather between 7 a.m. ![]()
