How do you tell what the Wind speed is like?

You all make it so hardDo it the easy way ? I’m sure some of you need to request an authorization from a LAANCE provider if you are in certain types of airspace, right? I use Kittyhawk. As soon as you login you get all the wind speed info you need. Even if you don’t need LAANCE in your area of operations, Kittyhawk is good to have on hand. Here’s a picture. Try it you will like it skydog out

That's wind speed at or near ground level. It's not telling you anything at all about the variation with height.

Ok so you need to dig a little deeper then sar104. Here’s the wind speed data based on elevation that you are asking for. It doesn’t have the cool animation as that other site/app does. But, I knew I saw it somewhere. Here you go. MUCH easier But I’m slow .....
And yea you are correct the wind speed shown on the dashboard of Kittyhawk is near ground level
