Wind isn’t just “strong” or “light.”

Main types:

-Prevailing winds (trade winds, westerlies, polar easterlies)
- Periodic winds (monsoons, sea/land breezes)
- Local winds (terrain-driven like Chinook, Mistral)

Plus: gusts + the jet stream.

Wind chill = how cold it *feels* when wind speeds up heat loss from your skin.

Same temperature, stronger wind = feels colder.

Dress smart, cover exposed skin, and limit time outside in extreme cold.

Want to measure wind speed accurately?

Use an anemometer.

Best practice: place it in an open area, away from obstacles, and let readings stabilize.

Units often shown in mph, km/h, m/s, or knots.
