Stick this up in the air and see what its blowing at head height 
Where from? How much?
In my shop £24 in Preston. Also in Stoke, Wolverhampton, Edinburgh, Croydon, Gloucester and Deal.
They have sellers all over the UK @BudgieUK
Some of their stuff is not too bad, some of it is…well I’ll leave that one hanging!!!

Amazon do one a tad cheaper
This is cheaper still 
Use this:
1 Extend digit upwards. (,left or right hand)
2. Open mouth and suck digit until wet.
3. Extend arm with moist finger iupwards to the sky.
4 if finger goes cold its windy if temperature remains the same…its not.
Not really much use though, at today’s NW Meet up there was very little wind at 2m but 30m up it was howling
I just needed to look at the treetops 
Been bloody howling for 3 weeks in Preston. Im hoping August gets calmer!
Yeah defo, You should have come along today Paul would have been great to meet you and have a fly
I work every weekend Wayne, couldnt even get 20 miles down the road.
Used to live in Standish, went to Shevington High School.
If only I flew at head height
Got one from AliExpress for £6 and use regularly
No need to spend massively on them.
Save your money , wind speed at ground level can be very local, better/cheaper use Beaufort scale - Wikipedia and not fly at anything above say 6 - “Large branches in motion; whistling heard in telegraph wires; umbrellas used with difficulty”
Or if you really want to spend get a weather station + https://jackstromberg.com/2018/06/setting-up-weewx-with-a-raspberry-pi/ 
Me too, £6 well spent, just gives an indication for a novice like me
Ah, the famous tumbleweed low-altitude drone. Very sturdy and versatile, always gets straight back in the air after a crash.
Unfortunately, it is uncontrollable in the slightest breeze, has no GPS and the camera is rubbish. But spare parts are cheap and easily available.
