Winds are generally stronger during the day due to the differential heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. This causes air masses to move and create wind patterns. At night, the lack of heating leads to calmer conditions and lighter winds.

Why are winds near the surface typically stronger and gustier in the afternoon?

Winds near the surface are stronger and gustier in the afternoon because of solar heating. As the day progresses, the sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, creating temperature differences that lead to air pressure variations. This causes air to move from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas, resulting in stronger winds.


Do tornadoes have stronger winds than hurricanes?

In most cases the wind speeds fall into the same range. However, it is not uncommon for tornadoes to produce winds in excess of 150 mph, which are rarely attained by hurricanes. The most violent tornadoes do produce stronger winds than even the most intense hurricanes.
