What is my Wind Region?

Western Australia
 
Australia is divided into four wind regions, from A to D.
Region A - greater than 30° latitude; interior Australia and southern coastal
Region A is further divided into regions A1 - A7 based mainly on wind directional differences
Region B - less than 30° latitude; coastal parts of northern Australia that are not cyclonic
Region C - coastal parts of northern Australia that are considered cyclonic; less than 25° on east coast and less than 27° on west coast
Region D - between 20° and 25° on west coast; severe cyclonic
