30+ MPH Winds

Posted: 02 May 2023 05:30 AM

Winds were howling again on Monday with the Ames Airport weather station reporting 30+ MPH sustained winds for a couple of hours during the daylight hours. The featured chart presents the number of such hourly reports each year. This chart is plotting sustained winds, which are an average of three to five second samples over a two minute interval. The top panel shows the number of hours for the year to date period each year on record for the site and the bottom panel breaks it down by hour of the day. This year's total comes in below average and well behind the total to date for 2022.
