The wind is a phenomenon capable of shaping the landscape at will. When you blow very hard, even rocks can change in size over time. It is also something very necessary, since without it, many plants would have many difficulties to find the most suitable place to grow, without counting on the fact that there would not be the fabulous and incredible tornadoes that fall in love with more than one.
But What is the windiest place in the world? Today we will find out.
Depending on the measure and scale of wind with which it is evaluated, there are several places on the planet where the wind blows with great intensity. For example: uterine
Mount washington
In New Hampshire (United States), is Mount Washington. A beautiful place, but where the winds can be dangerously strong: in 1934 it reached the speed of 372km/h.
Oklahoma
The United States is a country where tornadoes abound. A tornado is a column of air that is spinning at speeds that can be incredible (more than 200km / h). But in Oklahoma, on May 3, 1999, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) registered one that was going to 486km/h. There is nothing!
Antarctica
Antarctica is a place where, although it seems otherwise, the wind blows with great force. The winds in Commonweath Bay regularly exceed the incredible speed of the 240km/h.
Barrow Island
On the northwest coast of Australia we find Barrow Island. Although it is not considered a particularly windy area, it has been one of the places where there have been very strong breezes, as on April 10, 1966. That day the WMO registered a gust of wind that reached the 408km/h, caused by the tropical cyclone they named Olivia.
