The wind for the past month or two has been amazing, I seriously can't remember anything quite like it. I mean gales have always been something which turns up for a good few days in the year (normally around November from what I recall), but I never remember anything so set in as what we're currently experiencing. Neither in duration nor intensity.
Two questions:
Firstly I've always thought that wind was something to do with changes in pressure, however the weather doesn't seem to be changing significantly from prior and post these windy days. Have I got my theory on what causes wind wrong. What's causing it at the moment?
Secondly, when was the last time that it's been this windy for so long. It's looking like a real possibility Wimbledon could be a joke with the ball blowing all over the place, and Glastonbury goers could be in danger from the wind, not from the rain... I don't think that's been said many times before. Is this nothing more than selective memory?
