Abstract: | Summary ?A statistical analysis of wind speed and direction data for five selected meteorological stations at the Cyprus coast, is carried out in this study. Daily, monthly and annual variations of wind speed are established. The Weibull distribution statistics of the sites are also determined. In addition, an attempt is made to find the sea-breeze circulation effects in the same wind data. The wind statistics obtained are expected to serve as a validation test for wind energy applications, mainly along the southeastern coastline.
