A path through the woods with fog and green plants.

Which Way is the Wind Blowing?

The video above is taken from St Mary the Virgin’s church rooftop in the town of Rye, East Sussex, UK.

Which direction is the wind blowing from – North, East, South or West?

There are clues in the mosses, lichens, birds and more.

Spoiler alert…

Answer…

The green mosses and golden xanthoria lichens show that north is to the left and south is to the right.

Birds face into wind when they perch on rooftops.

The wind is therefore coming from…

The South.
