Hi
I posted one on here a few months ago asking for advice on which direction to take and received useful advice so am not after that. What I need is information. Does anybody know how I can get statistics on wind direction in the UK over specific dates? We are doing the ride in Sept 2011 over 10-11 days and our only sticking point is that the guy doing most of the organising is the only one out of four of us who wants to do North to South. Yesterday he stated he would change his mind like the rest of us and start at lands end if I could prove to him that in the first 2 weeks of September the prevailing wind is from the SW in the UK. I know the figures are something like 70/30 for this over a whole year but I was wondering if anybody knows if the Met office or somewehere else keeps such data for specfic dates over the last 3 or 4 years and can I access this?
Hope you can help
Tim
