What to wear in Lake Balaton
What riders wore here, by season
How windy Lake Balaton usually is
Each bar: how often it blew between 9:00 and 18:00 in that month, counted over about 3.5 years of weather records for Balatonoszod. Not a wind meter on the beach: where hills or a gap speed the wind up (Canaries, Tarifa), it often blows more than this shows.

It's the forecast model. In any wind app (Windguru, Windy…) you can pick which one to show. Not sure? GFS is the safe global default; the high-res ones (ICON-D2, AROME…) are sharper at coastal & thermal spots.
