Hoodoo Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 A: According to the National Climatic Data Center's list of annual average wind speeds, the windiest U.S. city is Dodge City, Kansas, with an average speed of 13.9 mph. Other windy cities include Amarillo, Texas (13.5 mph) and Rochester, Minn. (13.1 mph.). The windiest "big" cities are New York City (LaGuardia Airport) and Oklahoma City, which both have an average annual wind speed of 12.2 mph. The "windy city" of Chicago isn't as high on the list as you might think. It's average annual wind speed is 10.3 mph. So next time you're cruising across I-40 stop in (Amarillo) and fly for a bit. Lucky me:) Source: USA Today ((Answered by Doyle Rice, USATODAY.com weather editor., June 23, 2005) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobB Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 NYC has got everything... even wind ! Too bad we don't have any kite fliers here to take advantage of it ! You would think out of a few million people, there might be more than a dozen kite fliers... 8( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
