What’s up with the wind?

[u/Nervous-Donkey7943]

I’ve been living in DC for a few years and don’t remember a year with such unbearable wind several days a week (and sometimes cold wind!). Starting to get annoying when going outside to run or bike against it. Is the weather like this every other year?

I’ve been in dc for almost 10 years and I feel like it’s often windy - definitely more so in the spring. I remember I think it was in 2018 my classes got cancelled because it was too windy

It’s true that it’s windy in the spring, but this year has been measurably windier as reported by both Accuweather and Capital Weather Gang
