Averaging angles… Again

Question

I want to calculate the average of a set of angles, which represents source bearing (0 to 360 deg) - (similar to wind-direction)

I know it has been

Here you go! The reference is https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=8660.0

def avgWind(directions):
    sinSum = 0
    cosSum = 0
    d2r = math.pi/180 #degree to radian
    r2d = 180/math.pi
       
    for i in range(len(directions)):
        sinSum += math.sin(directions[i]*d2r)
        cosSum += math.cos(directions[i]*d2r)
      
    return ((r2d*(math.atan2(sinSum, cosSum)) + 360) % 360)
a= np.random.randint(low=0, high=360, size=6)
print(a)
avgWind(a)
