It may seem that winds are stronger at night, but scientifically, days tend to be windier. Nights do seem windy to us because as the world (traffic, people, television, etc) quiets down around us, we begin to hear the wind more. So why are the days windier, then? One thing that causes wind is a pressure gradient, which exists when pressure changes more in one place than in another. This happens mostly in the daytime, when the sun is out and warming different areas differently. After the sun sets, there is less of a chance of such a temperature change. ==In more detail...== In more detailed terms: as a generalization, winds tend to be weakest near dawn and strongest in late afternoon because the colder the ground is, the more of a local inversion you’re likely to have isolating surface winds from the faster winds above (conversely in the late afternoon surface heating allows for more mixing with the faster moving winds above). Winds are not caused by pressure change but by pressure gradient — that is, differences in pressure across space. So heating or cooling can cause winds, but only by changing pressure in one place more than in another, so that a gradient is formed (or strengthened). ==Other causes for wind== There are other wind-causing factors too, however, and these can hit at any time — day or night. For example, winds associated with cyclonic and related frontal circulation are independent of diurnal (daytime/nighttime) factors — you’ll feel those the strongest whenever the associated circulation feature reaches you.
The washing will dry quicker in windy conditions as the airflow will help to evaporate moisture from the clothes more rapidly. Still conditions will not have the same effect, causing the clothes to dry more slowly.
Valleys can be windy due to the funneling effect of the surrounding terrain, which can channel and intensify wind flow.
Well, not necessarily, but at least where I live (in northern Indiana) clear windy days are fairly common in the early fall. The conditions behind a cold front tend to be windy and clear. A day or so later it tends to be clear and calm. Cold fronts start passing more often in the early fall. Cold air is relatively dry. When it warms up, the relative humidity goes down, so the post-frontal days are clear and dry.
Altocumulus clouds are often associated with windy conditions because they form at medium altitudes and are typically found ahead of a storm system. These clouds can create windy conditions as they develop and move across the sky.
The earth is outside. You could tell because all living things are on the outside. So ya, the earth is on the outside.
It is very windy outside today.Scotland is a bit windy.
Only if its in contact with the wind.
fly a kite. go outside. eat soup. watch movies.
Yes, but if its windy outside your helicopter will drive crazy.
its so windy because its so close to the first layer atmosphere
anywhere so it can`t be seen , and the least outside windy location ,behind a radiator is best
Yes, when it is very windy it is hard to get a good throw off, making your defense a lot easier. Zone defense is always preferable to Man on Man when it is windy.
Punta Arenas is so windy because there are mountain ranges behind the city.
"Windy" can refer to two different parts of speech. As an adjective, it describes something that is characterized by wind. As a verb, "windy" can be used to describe the act of twisting or turning, as in "windy roads."
people stay home and sleep because it is realy windy outside
So windy that not many people bothered to measure it :)
you dummme
