Abstract: Wind is a particularly significant meteorological element from the point of view of the residents of cities, as it affects, for example, the subjective temperature, the extent of the Urban Heat Island or the concentration of atmospheric pollution. On the basis of observations carried out in Toruń in 2012, great deformations of wind directions and reduction of its speed were found as compared to suburban areas. The lowest values of annual mean speed were recorded in forest areas (0.2 m·s–1 ) and in parks (0.6 m·s–1 ). The highest winds, on the other hand, occurred in the area of multi-apartment buildings (1.1 m·s–1 ). Modifications of wind directions were also analysed and were found to occur to the greatest extent in forest areas, and in areas of diversified land development, the least.
