szélirány

Szélirány is a Hungarian word that translates to "wind direction" in English. It is a fundamental concept in meteorology and a crucial factor in various natural phenomena and human activities. Understanding wind direction is essential for weather forecasting, as it indicates the movement of air masses, which can bring changes in temperature, precipitation, and cloud cover.

Wind direction is typically measured using an anemometer, which often includes a wind vane. The wind vane points into the wind, indicating the direction from which the wind is blowing. Directions are commonly expressed using compass points (North, South, East, West) or degrees from North. For example, a wind blowing from the North is a Northerly wind.

In addition to weather forecasting, wind direction plays a significant role in aviation, maritime navigation, and agriculture. Pilots and sailors rely on wind direction for safe travel, while farmers consider it for activities like spraying crops or planting to prevent drift. In environmental science, wind direction is vital for tracking the dispersion of pollutants or allergens. The study and measurement of szélirány are therefore integral to understanding and interacting with our environment.
