Here you can view the typical wind conditions throughout the year in Sliac, (Banskobystrický kraj), Slovakia.
These figures come from monthly climatological averages showing that Sliac sees peak wind speeds of 2 m/s (4 knots) during its windiest period and minimum speeds of 1 m/s (2 knots) during its calmest season.
The 1 m/s (2 knots) average in January, February, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December means predominantly still conditions throughout the month. Some days will be completely calm while others may experience a bit more wind. In general this minimal wind speed is barely perceptible on skin. In terms of speed conversion, it represents 3.6 kilometers per hour or 2.2 miles per hour.
The Beaufort scale categorizes this as "light air." Smoke patterns show nearly vertical rise with slight occasional drift. Tree leaves remain generally undisturbed, with only rare gentle rustling. Wind becomes a non-factor for most activities during these tranquil months.
Wind speeds reach an average of 2 m/s (4 knots) in March and April. This means that on some days, the air is nearly still. There could also be gusts of up to 4 m/s (8 knots) on other days.
