Does it mean that, since there are 4 major compass points, that if it comes out of the W over 25% of the time, it's the "prevailing wind"? Does it take over 50% to be prevailing? And where would I find a breakdown of what the winds are like over an annual period? Please send me a link so I can research this. I don't know where to start.
