Wind direction

Post by foxy1305 »

Real basic question. When setting up outside does the wind direction vane sit with the s sitting on the south side or should you see the s. I suppose that would mean coming from the south?
Thanks

The 's' should be on the south side of the vane.

Yes, the wind direction on your display "should" be the direction the wind is coming from..
