How to calculate the daily average wind speed
Revision as of 13:26, 30 January 2024 by Frank@tygron.nl (talk | contribs)
The daily average wind speed has to be measured from 8 UTC current day to 7 UTC the next day, according to the DPRA Heat stress report. The wind speed is also measured in 0.1 meters, so the values from the KNMI weather data column FH have to be divided by 10 to get to a value in m/s.

| Column | Name | Unit | Dutch Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2/B | YYYYMMDD | Date | datum (YYYY=jaar,MM=maand,DD=dag) |
| 3/C | HH | Hour | tijd (HH=uur, UT.12 UT=13 MET, 14 MEZT. Uurvak 05 loopt van 04.00 UT tot 5.00 UT |
| 4/D | DD | Degrees | Windrichting (in graden) gemiddeld over de laatste 10 minuten van het afgelopen uur (360=noord, 90=oost, 180=zuid, 270=west, 0=windstil 990=veranderlijk. Zie [1] |
| 5/E | FH | 0.1 m/s | Uurgemiddelde windsnelheid (in 0.1 m/s). Zie [2] |
Notes
- The wind speed (hourly, and daily average) can also be based on an other data source; Potentiele wind (UP): http://projects.knmi.nl/klimatologie/onderzoeksgegevens/potentiele_wind-sigma/. These values are often a few 0.1 m/s higher than the values from the historical KNMI weather data table.
