Using a faceted bar chart we can compare the individual charts with the global chart shown as a gray background.

Take a 10% sample. Remove the target column and save. Swap the order of No/Yes in the target column. Plot the wind direction. Add a grey layer with the non-target variable dataset. Add normal bar layer. Facet. Labels will have commas. Turn the legend off.
