Wind Description Template 1
Wind map\nViewpoint/exposure: [x]\nDirection cue: [x]\nAffected objects: [x]\nSteady/gusty: [x]\nCarried material/sensation: [x]\nConsequence: [x]
Start with structure, then replace every placeholder with information that is true, relevant, and natural for your context. These templates are intentionally skeletal so your final writing does not sound mass-produced.
A strong wind description gives direction, variability, scale, and consequence through observable effects. It avoids converting one sensation into an exact wind-speed or weather forecast unless the scene has measured or researched evidence.
