I know most guys know the prevailing wind in their area for deer hunting, but ran across some cool data of wind rose plots. Might come in handy for those out of state hunts determining prevailing wind for an area.
Basically you can choose the closest location that you might be interested in wind data for a specific month and you'll get the info.
Here is the link that best describes them:

Here is the link for datasets across the U.S.:

Data might be a bit old, but I'm sure there are more sites out there with fresher data. Below are some examples.
