Abstract

The article analyzes the data on wind directions in the city of Volgograd for 1998–2014. As a result of statistical analysis, we found the disparity between empirical data and the data obtained from the set of rules of building climatology. According to the set of rules, the predominant wind direction in Volgograd is west wind, and according to our data—east wind. As the study showed, many citizens of Volgograd consider the issue of wind direction not to be the one that should be taken into account when buying an apartment. However, it should be known that lack of data on predominant wind direction might lead to the purchase of apartment which would have less comfort than apartment which is less influenced by wind, especially winter wind. Based on longstanding meteorological data, we have built a general wind rose for Volgograd which can be used by anyone who plans to buy the real estate property. This is necessary, as many developers neglect the influence of the wind rose on residential houses and focus on location of the house on the property.
