Just bear in mind that a crosswind of only 1mph - which you can barely detect - will blow your pellet something like 2 inches off course at 100 yards.

Most of the time the weather forcast mentions winds of 10/15mph.
On good days I've noticed quite often winds are slowest early morning & pick up as the day progresses.
The days with the least wind seem to be frosty mornings.

This site might help.
I got readings from Pershore @ 9mph & B'Ham airport @ 12mph a few minutes ago.
Most of the time I just look out of the front window, if the trees appear to be leaning over I leave the gun at home & walk the dog instead.
I'm not long range shooting yet, I've still to find the best pellet for my barrel.
The wind map site will come in use when I'm ready though.
As they say, every little helps.

id agree with a lot of the comments, its the person that limits the guns accuracy.

Good reasons for that. The air temperature is usually quite stable overnight; it's when the sun comes up in the morning and warms the ground that thermally induced currents begin.

Frosts in this country tend to occur when the air pressure is high and there is little wind. Low pressure is associated with much steeper pressure gradients and therefore higher winds. Tornados and hurricanes are examples of very severe pressure gradients.
