The wind could have been rounded from 105 deg up to 110 deg for METAR or Tower Reported Wind.. The accuracy of the wind sensor is approximately +/- 3-5 deg.. This means the wind direction could have been in the range 100-102 deg..

The total wind speed (including momentary gust) at 10m may have been closer to 25 knots +/- error.. However, at 35m, the height of the hangar roof, the wind speed is likely to have been higher than 25 knots..
