Wind Map

Wind in Estonia today

The real-time wind map shows wind speed and direction across Estonia. Searching for "wind today", "wind speed Estonia" or "wind direction real time" – you will find up-to-date information here.

Wind significantly affects perceived temperature, coastal weather, sea conditions and traffic. Strong wind can trigger storm warnings and make conditions dangerous.

How does the wind map work?

The wind map is based on weather station measurements and model forecasts, showing:

• 🌬 average wind speed (m/s)
• 💨 wind gusts
• 🧭 wind direction
• 📍 regional distribution

The map usually shows wind strength with colours and direction with arrows.

Typical colour scale:

• 🟢 0–5 m/s – light wind
• 🟡 5–10 m/s – moderate wind
• 🟠 10–15 m/s – strong wind
• 🔴 over 15 m/s – very strong wind / storm

Data is updated regularly, allowing you to track wind changes in real time.

Wind speed in Estonia by region

North Estonia

By the Gulf of Finland, wind can be stronger than inland. Storms occur more often in autumn and winter.

West Estonia and islands

On the islands (Saaremaa, Hiiumaa), wind is generally stronger as open sea allows air masses to move freely.

South Estonia

Inland regions often have lighter wind, but thunderstorms can cause strong gusts.

East Estonia

Wind can strengthen when cold air masses arrive from the east.

Strong wind and storms

Strong wind can cause:

• tree damage
• power outages
• traffic problems
• dangerous sea conditions

If wind speed exceeds 15–20 m/s, it may be a storm. In that case, also monitor warnings.

Effect of wind on perceived temperature

Wind significantly affects how cold the weather feels. This is called wind chill.

For example:

• +2 °C with 10 m/s wind can feel like -5 °C
• -5 °C with strong wind can feel even colder

Wind effect is especially important in winter.

Wind at sea and on the coast

The wind map is important for sailors, fishermen, surfers and beach visitors.

At sea, wind speed can be significantly higher than on land. For detailed marine info, see marine weather.

For beach conditions, see coastal weather.

When is Estonia windiest?

Estonia is usually windiest in autumn and winter, when active low-pressure systems affect the Baltic region.

In spring and summer, wind is often lighter, but thunderstorms can cause strong gusts.

Wind map and aviation

Strong wind also affects aviation, especially landings and take-offs. Wind direction and speed are constantly monitored at Tallinn Airport.
