Wind Forecast
This is a good site for wind forecasts- each full bar on the arrow represents 10 knots of wind (so two full bars = 20 knots) and each half bar is 5 knots (so one and a half bars = 15 knots) This is a world standard in weather forecasting.Click on the time or day you want a forecast for on the left hand menu.

Wind Now
Here you can see what the wind is actually doing right now. Since the wind usually travels from the west, keep a good eye on what's coming your way by looking at the venues to the west of your location or the check whats coming in the prevailing direction.

Isobar Chart
Low pressures spin anti clockwise and are called anti cyclones, the closer the white lines are, the windier it is. The wind's direction is usually about 15 degrees to the right of the direction of the isobar. The lower the pressure (sometimes down to around 975 in the winter) the stormier it is. Low pressures zig zag up and down the northern hemisphere, usually passing us in a north east direction tracking just west of Ireland, but in some years traveling over Ireland or the UK, for instance in 2007 bringing more rain, wind and milder winter temperatures.
