# Wind arrow layer

The `WindArrowLayer` shows the wind speed in meter per second (**m/s**). Forecast for speed and direction at an altitude of 10 m above ground.

The WindArrowLayer contains both a background to which is applied a color ramp and a set of moving arrow-shaped particles, for this reason, the constructor WindArrowLayer has more options that then other weather layers.
