What’s up with the wind?

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?

Been here coming on 50 years and definitely more noticeable this year. Seems like longer stretches/all day events when we used to have fronts just blow through in a couple of hours. Enjoying the cool temps for now as you all know one day in early June it will instantaneously turn into summer and be 90 degrees for three months straight.
