- A wind rose is a graphic tool used by meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location. Presented in a circular format, the wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions.

- The following is a wind rose used to reflect 5 Washington locations: Olympia, Quillayute, Seattle, Spokane, Yakima.
