Windspeed Database

Select the grid reference for which you require data. For help on working
out the grid reference of your location click
here.
Alternatively, to convert a post code to grid reference click
here. You will need to edit the eight character LR value that's
returned:
Eg. The DTI headquarters post code is SW1H 0ET. Typing this into the conversion tool returns: LR - TQ298794
This value is made up of three values - two letters, and then two sets of three numbers - TQ 298 794 for the above example.
The database uses a six digit grid reference, so you need to drop the third digit from each of the two numbers: this would make the above example TQ2979
Select a region below and type in the six character grid reference as
described above (with no spaces) and then hit the Find Wind Data button.
This should return the wind speeds for the location you specified.
