The information is provided here in a Weibull's distribution. We will use here for simplicity a Rayleigh's distribution with the same average speed:

a. Justify the choice of the Rayleigh's distribution.

We can compare on the graph below the two distributions for the month of November 2005 which has the Weibull's coefficient the most different from 2:
