Modelling projections of future wind climate across the region are based on mean wind speed, and not extreme wind speeds or wind direction.  Results show variability across the region.  

Key findings are:

• Annual average wind speed will marginally decrease (by around 1%)

• Winter average wind speeds, which have the greatest background values and presently cause considerable damage across the region, will marginally increase (by less than around 1%) throughout the region.

• Average wind speeds in spring, summer and autumn are projected to decrease.
