Yesterday's featured chart attempted to summarize this April's windiness by comparing the average wind speed vs previous Aprils. A long winded discussion ensued that such comparisons were problematic. So we are back again today with a different approach to this question of how windy this April has been by totaling the number of hourly reports each month with wind speeds of at least 20 MPH. The top panel presents the total each April and the bottom panel shows the number of days for each hour with winds speeds of at least 20 MPH. So this chart is about in the same boat as yesterday's, although there are still five days left with this April to increase the totals. So the moral of the story is the same, when compared with the recent 30 years, this year is near the top, but certainly nothing too exceptional.
