Ветер, поворачивающий по часовой стрелке in practice
A veering wind shifts clockwise. In the UK, a veer is typical as a cold front passes: the wind swings from southwest to northwest, often with a squall and clearing skies.
Shipping forecasts use 'veering' and 'backing' to describe expected changes, so knowing them helps you plan which tack to be on.
Common questions
- Is veering a good or bad sign?
- Often a sign a front has passed and the weather will improve, but the veer itself can bring a squall.
- How do I remember veering versus backing?
- Veering goes the way of the clock; backing goes back against it.
