Polar Plot

I am somewhat new to Power BI and am trying to create a polar plot, see image below for example. I have wind direction, wind speed, and air pollution concentration. How do I do a polar plot with N, S, E, W, with the data showing similar to the image below? Any help you can give me on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Any help I find via Google does not show how to get the cardinal directions to show on the plot.

@Anonymous You could probably get there with a standard Scatter (Bubble) chart and this: Cartesian 2 Polar - Microsoft Power BI Community

Thanks for your reply, I am not really sure what that means though. Do you mean I need this visual to do a polar plot? If so, do you know how to use it to create the cardinaly points. I did Google about this visual and learned a broad overview of the visual but was having difficulty getting it to show the data like the picture in my previous comment.
