70% to passWhen recording the wind direction in the weather log, you would report the _______________.
A
duration of the maximum gust of wind
B
wind chill factor
C
direction the wind is blowing from
D
direction the wind is blowing toward
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) direction the wind is blowing from. When recording wind direction in a weather log, the standard practice is to report the direction the wind is blowing from, not the direction it is blowing toward. This is because wind direction is typically referenced in relation to the source of the wind, not the destination. The other answer choices, such as wind gust duration or wind chill factor, are not the relevant information required for recording wind direction in a weather log.
