Windy Start to April

Posted: 12 Apr 2016 05:34 AM

It is not your imagination, this April to date has been one of the recently windiest as recorded by the Des Moines Airport. The featured chart displays averaged wind speeds for the 1 thru 11 April period. A caveat is that the methodology and instrumentation for recording wind has changed over the years, so long term comparisons are difficult. That aside, this year is windiest since at least the early 1970s. Breezy conditions look to continue this week.

Voting:
Good = 12
