Glad I live at the North Sea coast, makes the increasingly hot summers more bearable.
Ventusky has quite a good map that can show wind speed ad gusts
The bottom “<3”.
I love you too, map.
The feel of horizontal rain insistently smashing over my face while the lamp posts on the parking lot of Keflavik airport wobbled like a half cooked pasta is one of the most dearest memory of my visit to Iceland. I was in a somewhat dark place of my life at the time and even though my friends were beside me the wind became the closest entity for me during that trip.
We should be investing more in wind power when you see things like this.
No gas, no oil, no coal, no wind, no sun, I guess we’ll stay poor then.
the wind is much faster at sea ? explains why they are building windfarms in the ocean.
Smaller please?
Sometimes I forget that people in other countries don’t have set up wind protection to go to the beach.
I live in Milan, can confirm we have some wind for like 10 days a year. Leaves on trees don’t usually move here, any air movement is the exception, not part of our normal daily life.
As a person who lives in north-eastern Bulgaria, I can confirm it’s quite windy
Worth noting that this map probably shows the wind speed measured at a high altitude, like 50-100 m, which is not what we experience while walking. At the human level, the speed will be significantly lower, for example in Belarus it’s usually 2-4 m/s not 5-6

Finally our Irish weather is good for something 😉
Windfarms when?
The wife would top this chart all by herself.
