🔍 Key Concepts

• True vs. relative wind direction on a weather log • How wind directions are expressed in degrees true on a compass rose • The relationship between the cardinal points (N, E, S, W) and their degree values

💭 Think About

• On a standard compass rose, what degree value corresponds to wind coming FROM the west? • Think about the degree values for North, East, South, and West. Which one lines up with West? • When you write wind direction in a log, are you writing where the wind is going TO or where it is coming FROM?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that wind direction is always recorded as the direction it is coming FROM • Match West to its correct degree value on a 0°–360° compass rose • Eliminate any options that clearly correspond to North, East, or South instead of West
