Modelling projections of future wind climate across the region are based on mean wind speed, and not extreme wind speeds or wind direction.  Results show variability across the region.  

Key findings are:

• Annual average wind speed will marginally decrease (by less than around 2%)

• Winter wind speeds, which have the greatest background values and presently cause considerable damage across the region, will marginally increase (by less than around 2%) in some locations, marginally reduce (by less than around 2%) in some locations and remain as present values in other location.
