I take note of cloud direction, versus ground wind, if either be available. Today's upper level wind usually is tomorrow's ground wind. Comes in handy for how to pitch a shelter, overnight. Buy-Ballot's Law is handy to heed: Northern Hemisphere version, with wind at back, Low Pressure Cell is on Left & ahead; Southern Hemisphere version: Low Pressure Cell is on Right & ahead. The stronger the wind, the closer the cell.
