Often times wind direction is fairly predictable. Along the Columbia gorge around Portland, wind blows from the East in the morning, and then switches to the West in the afternoon. The sun heats and expands the air from the East in the morning, and then heats and expands the air in the West as the day grows old.

I've also noticed wind from the south on I-5 in the morning, and from the North in the afternoon.

It's afternoon as I write this, and wind is blowing from the Northwest where I live.

I've been wanting a way to know wind direction so that I can place my window fan in a direction that doesn't oppose the wind.

Thanks!
