Wellington, New Zealand isn't called "windy willington" for nothing. It has an average annual wind speed of 22 km/h. It is mistakenly thought to be the windiest city in the world, but St. John's, NL is actually windier, with an average annual wind speed of 24.3 km/h. The Roaring Forties are not very far North of the New Zealand capital. The Forties (lat. 40 deg. Sth.) do not pass over much land as they blow around the World. One place on the Roaring Forties is Grassy, King Island, Australia, but Grassy cannot be called a city because it only has a very small and isolated population, many of whom are descended from whalers and soldier- settlers from World-War Two.
