Monday featured quite strong winds for mid August thanks to an expansive low pressure system overhead. The featured chart presents IEM computed daily averaged wind speeds and vector averaged direction for Ames this month. A simple period of record climatology for wind speed is included. The average wind speed yesterday was easily the strongest this month so far and about double the climatology of just six miles per hour. The climatology line does show an interesting increase as the month progresses and we crept closer to a windier month of September.
