I'm in Houston. It blows like crazy in the autumn and spring. But not in the summer, or at least it didn't before. Just when we could use a breeze around here, there generally isn't one. This year, its very windy. We are seeing winds around 20 mph and gust close to 30 mph nearly every day. Some of the locals, including myself believe its windier than usual here. I also track the weather at various other parts of the country for comparison. I am seeing similar numbers at other places also.
