For use in extreme environments where a regular cloth-based wind-sock would be destroyed by strong winds or rain, a bucket can be fastened by the handle to a pole so it is able to move freely on this axis. When the bucket experiences a strong gust of wind, it will rotate in the direction in which the wind is blowing, providing an accurate measure of wind direction while remaining operational in heavy storms that a normal wind sock could not.
