Sørsørvest

Sørsørvest is a directional term used to describe a direction that lies between south and southwest. It is one of the sixteen main cardinal directions on a compass rose. Imagine standing facing directly south. If you then turn your body towards the west, but not all the way to southwest, you would be facing sørsørvest. The precise angle of sørsørvest relative to true south can be calculated. If south is 180 degrees and southwest is 225 degrees, then sørsørvest would be approximately 202.5 degrees. This intermediate direction is useful for more specific navigation and description than simply using the primary cardinal directions. In some contexts, particularly in nautical or aviation settings, precise directional indicators are crucial, making intermediate directions like sørsørvest valuable. It represents a point on the compass that is further west than south but not as far west as southwest.
