Default Blowy wind

AARRGGHH!

I have just heard a presenter on BBC Radio 4 say that 'blowy
wind' is expected.

Is there any other kind?

Anne

Hot, cold, circular, oddly no uppity or depressing. Updraughts and downdraughts don't count, do they?
Warm, cool, wet, dry, intermittent, injudicious, changeable, big, dirty, dusty, light, dark, heavy, blew, pink, seasonal... bloody hell how many would you like?

Sheer, opaque, cautious, very cautious and bloody windy.

If you really want a good one try Parma from 2009:

Anyone with a few hours to spare know enough about typhoons to rewrite most of that article?
