wind vanes
Rooftop weather arrows
Wind vanes are devices that show wind direction, mounted on rooftops or poles and free to rotate.
The vane points into the wind or, in decorative versions like weathercocks, shows which way the wind blows from.
Also called weathervanes.
The wind vane on the barn indicated a north wind.
