These pie charts show the dominant wind direction for each month.  Wind direction plays a big part in the weather.  Wind from the North is generally cold, from the South warm; wind from the East brings storms, and wind from the West pushes them away.  Our January and February had mostly westerly winds.  March had west and east wind equally, and April featured east and southeast predominantly.   

Finally, this graph shows the averages for daily temperature and rainfall calculated from archived data ranging from 1949 - 1995.
