I've just started using SkyDemon and I'm a bit confused by the purple/green wind feathers on the chart.

I assume that more branches mean a stronger wind but how many knots per branch?
What are the readings based on? The location of the feathers don't seem to correspond to the met office spot find chart (form 214) or the TAF/METAR forecast locations.
Is the direction away from the start of tip of the feather?

Thanks!
