During a windstorm, the air can whip the sandy earth up and over 150 mph at times. Anyone caught in this has the risk of choking to death, or being buried and trapped under the dunes. This, just like locusts and drought, wreaks havoc for farmers and their harvest. This in turn causes lack of food and famine. That's why it is no coincidence that the continent with the largest desert, Africa, is also the poorest.
It is because there are clouds to block some sun rays during the day and there are trees that can block the strong winds.
Deserts typically have consistent and strong winds due to the lack of obstacles and temperature differentials. This makes them ideal locations for wind turbines, as the strong winds can generate a lot of clean energy efficiently. Additionally, deserts have vast open spaces, reducing the impact on surrounding habitats or communities.
Four Strong Winds was created in 1963.

Usually occurs in deserts or barren lands. Winds are strong enough to lift the sand up to heights, because there are no obstacles to prevent it (such as trees, vegetation, mountains or buildings).

Wind is most powerful in areas with high altitudes, such as mountains and ridges, due to the lack of obstacles to slow down the airflow. Coastal regions are also prone to strong winds, especially during storms or in areas where temperature differences create strong pressure gradients. Additionally, open plains and deserts can experience strong winds due to the lack of vegetation and obstructions.
weak winds because doldrums are calm winds on the earth.
Continental deserts occur in the centers of large continents. As inland winds travel from the sea over land, they lose moisture in the form of rain, and by the time they reach the center of a large continent, they are very dry. The Sahara, most Australian deserts, most North American Deserts, the Kalahari and Gobi Deserts are examples of continental deserts.
Sometimes rainy and cold winter and hot summer. Sometimes it rained 'blood' because when the winds were strong from the deserts, red sand would be caught in the wind.
Snow and strong winds mix together to create a blizzard.
Florida does experience strong winds at times, especially during hurricane season (June to November). These strong winds can be associated with tropical storms and hurricanes that affect the region. However, strong winds are not a constant or daily occurrence in Florida.
