What causes the wind to vary in direction.
I fly a flexwing microlight, the wind yesterday (Saturday 24th) was ranging between 150-210 10knts in my neck of the woods making for some interesting landings,
My lightly loaded wing is very susceptible to gusts and crosswinds ect and it got me thinking as I was flying along about the air hitting me from differing directions and as to why the wind should swing about so much on some days like it was today and it stayed like that all day.
I feel I should know the answer already but don't so I sure somebody can tell me.
Nick.
