Wind

Over the course of the year typical wind speeds vary from 0 mph to 14 mph (calm to moderate breeze), rarely exceeding 24 mph (fresh breeze).
The highest average wind speed of 9 mph (gentle breeze) occurs around February 29, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 14 mph (moderate breeze).
The lowest average wind speed of 5 mph (light breeze) occurs around July 16, at which time the average daily maximum wind speed is 10 mph (gentle breeze).
Wind Speed

The average daily minimum (red), maximum (green), and average (black) wind speed with percentile bands (inner band from 25th to 75th percentile, outer band from 10th to 90th percentile).
The wind is most often out of the west (27% of the time) and south west (15% of the time). The wind is least often out of the south (4% of the time) and north east (5% of the time).

Looking towards the end of May is when the winds start to die down. The Average High Wind doesn't look all too bad and as long as we get an early start we can miss the brunt of it.
