Lack of wind

Posted: 25 Mar 2010 05:09 AM

If March has seemed a bit too quiet to you, it is probably because of the general lack of windy conditions that we often remember with March. The featured chart displays the average wind speed for March by year at the Des Moines Airport. Only 1994 is shown with a lower average speed than 2010 since 1970. The red line displays the climatological average of 11.6 miles per hour. Some stronger winds are expected today and tomorrow as a storm system passes by.
