Wind speed indicating device

Looking for a wind speed indicator of some sort. Doesn't need to be precise, just interested in something better than a rough guess from the local weather report. This has been brought up before, but my searches show threads from about 2013. Thinking there might be something simple and small on the market that wasn't back then. Any suggestions?

Thanks for looking.
 
That will be great for my needs at the moment. Thanks!
i have a cheap one similar to the one in link krack posted. its ok but sometimes hard for me to orient in the proper direction. i want one i can set on a tripod and it will rotate and tell me wind direction and speed

I'm sure switching winds are problematic as well, and that's fine. I just want something better than a guess, because I know for a fact that estimating wind speeds is NOT in my skill set. Not something I've ever needed to consider before.
 
For known distance target shooting an actual speed isn't really important just knowing how much push and where that the condition you are seeing is moving the bullet.
Well, I just want to see for myself. Call it stupid and stubborn if you like.

No problem, I was just adding info. I'm not sure what shooting activity you are interested in. I was referring to competition myself. Knowledge is never a bad thing. Good shooting to you!

I have one of these it is non-directional so wind from any direction. reads current, max speed and average
