How do you feel about winds/windy weather??

    I almost always take note of the wind - how strong, from what direction, when it changes, how its affecting landscape/clouds, etc.

    In the city, I often just regard it as a nuisance, but when I'm out in nature, it's as much part of my experience as the beauty of landscape, the temperature, whether it's raining or not, whether it's sunny or cloudy.

    But I think I appreciate it now because it changes and it's not always windy where I live.

    Growing up in the north-west of Ireland, it always seemed to be windy and all I remember was how much I wished it would stop.

    How's the wind where you are? [Maybe the first time you've been asked that question]

    Just be grateful we live at this latitude OP, imagine if we lived near the equator!

    Hate the wind.

    I'd prefer rain.

    Wind wrecks my head. I always take it personally when it pushes me.


    FUKK YOU WIND!!!!!!

    I'm often blown away by the sheer power of the wind.

    I'm sick of walking around with my kite dragging behind me.

    It's better when it's windy.

    I don't mind the wind unless I'm on the bike, especially if it's raining.

    This day last year we had the big storm which blew us inside out. It's was scary as fook but I enjoyed it!

    Depends on the rest of the conditions I guess, wind and drizzle is awful, wind and snow annoying without goggles, but on a warm June day..

    Out on the bike or out for a run, its the best thing and the worst thing. If im planning to do either, id generally head out into the wind. Nothing worst than facing into a head wind up the road and you are already half knackered.

    Ill take rain over turbo headwinds any day on the bike.

    How do I feel?

    Uplifted I guess.

    Love it!
    Find walking against a strong breeze with some cool light rain unbelievably relaxing. Prefer it to actual sunshine.

    I hate it and no matter what direction I go, it always seems to keep blowing in my face.

    Actually, there may be some physics to back up that feeling if I remember correctly from an early physics course. No doubt there will be someone who will be able to verify or correct.

    I love it!
    It makes me feel cosier if I'm inside and more alive when I'm outside.
    Stormy nights are the weather equivalent of chocolate for me.

    I used to be indifferent about it.....in Ireland. ...makes a round of golf good fun.

    However- A few weeks ago I was outside in -40 for a considerable amount of time and the wind alone when picked up plunged us into -50. A genuinely frightening experience for an unprepared Paddy is all I can say about it.

    Don't like the wind, or the cold - everything else is manageable.
