Converting wind direction in angles to text words

Question

I have wind direction data coming from a weather vane, and the data is represented in 0 to 359 degrees.

I want to convert this into text format (compass rose) with 16 di

I checked this and it works very good and seems accurate. Source: http://www.themethodology.net/2013/12/how-to-convert-degrees-to-cardinal.html by Adrian Stevens

    public static string DegreesToCardinal(double degrees)
    {
        string[] caridnals = { "N", "NE", "E", "SE", "S", "SW", "W", "NW", "N" };
        return caridnals[(int)Math.Round(((double)degrees % 360) / 45)];
    }

    public static string DegreesToCardinalDetailed(double degrees)
    {
        degrees *= 10;

        string[] caridnals = { "N", "NNE", "NE", "ENE", "E", "ESE", "SE", "SSE", "S", "SSW", "SW", "WSW", "W", "WNW", "NW", "NNW", "N" };
        return caridnals[(int)Math.Round(((double)degrees % 3600) / 225)];
    }
