What’s with the wind!?

Christchurch is not usually known as a super windy place, like Wellington for instance. Sure, an easterly wind is something we Cantabs are used to however, who else thinks that lately the wind has been worse than previous years?

Interestingly, Windfinder has statistics on wind levels in Christchurch which shows that on average, since 2006, January is our most windy month. In a cruel twist of irony, the annual kite day at New Brighton beach unfortunately Suffered from a lack of wind.

A quick Google search shows that that Christchurch has an average daily wind speed of 17 kmh. This is a far cry from the average of 29kmh in Wellington but I don’t remember it ever being this windy every day.

Who else is sick of the wind!!!
