There was considerable talk last year if April 2022 was the windiest April on record in Iowa. The answer to that question is difficult due to complexities with how wind observations have changed over the years. That discussion aside, April 2023 was very windy as well with the featured chart presenting an IEM calculated average wind speed for the Ames Airport. The site only has data back to the mid 1990s, so the period of record data is a bit more comparable, but there have been wind sensor changes with the installation of a sonic anemometer in 2012. The first few days of May will continue where April left off, with plenty of wind.
