A change with the wind direction?

[Don]

The arrow points down instead of up for north. Is this on purpose or a mistake :?:
This applies to both the desktop and the widget.

Don,

The arrow shows the direction that the air is flowing. That is common to most all weather sites.

No, it's surely not. Put a weather vane, a weathercock or a simple arrow into the wind. They all show the direction the wind comes from.

Understood, but wasn't it the other way around in the not too distant past? :?

"Wind direction is reported by the direction from which it originates."

It's actually normal, which determines the weather is the origin of the mass of air (dry, wet, etc ...)
