Surface Wind Forecast: This surface wind forecast from the UBC WFRT Forecast Page presents the wind speeds and directions for both BC and Southwest BC.

From the link, select Surface -> 10-m wind -> BC to obtain a 7-day wind forecast map for BC. Alternatively, select Surface -> 10-m wind -> Southwest BC to obtain a 7-day wind forecast map for Southwest BC.

The 7-day forecast is displayed as an animation loop that can be paused at any time, and the colored wind barbs and clean, simple layout makes it easy to quickly infer information off of these maps.

This resource is useful because the wind barbs give the wind speed of an area; this information can then be compared to the Beaufort Wind Scale to determine the corresponding wind force. For example, if the wind speed in an area is determined to be around 20 km/h, that corresponds to a Beaufort Wind Force of about 4, which would indicate a moderate breeze - good for dog walking!
