Discuss Solar and Wind in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Well it's only an idea floating round in my head at present, I'll do a bit of research and monitoring of wind speed over the next month or so and see where it takes me,

I hve read bout the type of wind, I don't really even know what 5 knots or meters per second feels like.

Google the Beaufort scale, there are descriptions of observable effects of different 'bands' of wind strengths. Also take a look at the Meterological Office web local 5-day forecasts; there is usually a link to the observations of actual weather conditions at your nearest weather observation station. Usually this is your nearest major airfield, civilian or military. If you are close to that location then it will be a good indication of the wind speeds that you can expect, subject of course to variations due to local terrain and other features that affect the wind speed at your location.
