Wind at cruising altitude as measured on board by aircraft in flight. Each airliner derives the wind from its airspeed and GPS ground speed and broadcasts it over ADS-B together with the outside air temperature. Arrows show direction and speed, and can be filtered by altitude band.
Where the data comes from
ADS-B wind and temperature fields from the adsb.lol community network (regional views only); polled every 12 seconds.
Reading the map
Arrow colour is wind speed, from pale blue (calm) through green and yellow to red (about 216 km/h and above). Arrows point downwind.
Units Wind speed in km/h; altitude bands below 3 km, 3 to 8 km and above 8 km.
