How do I find out which way the prevailing winds blow in my garden?

Answer 1

It depends on where you live. Between 30 and 60 degrees north latitude in the northern hemisphere these winds are westerly. However coastal or mountainous areas are subject to conditions which alter the prevailing conditions so I would place a windsock in my garden and record its direction over a period of months or even a year and that will give you a much better idea of the winds in your particular micro-climate.
