Wind Vanes

Wind vanes are used to check the direction of the wind. 

Compass points are used to give wind direction. 

Wind is measured in the direction that the wind is coming from. 

Wind vanes are often placed on top of buildings so that they are fully exposed to the wind. 

When using a wind vane you need to use a compass to make sure that it is properly aligned.
