Attempt #2 having posted originally to uk.sport.cricket
OK, July's not quite finished but a friend just emailed to ask "Is this the windiest July on record? It's been real struggle cycling to work recently". Philip - does your E-W / N-S index (IIRC) take into consideration strength of wind? Richard |

Doon 'ere in Devon it hasn't been as windy as July 08, but only just (so far). Here are a few figures. 2008 2009 (1st - 29th) Max Gust: 35 34 Ave Max: 21 21 Ave Wind: 4.7 4.3 Wind Run: 3520 2833 Calm (days): 4.5 5.1 Figures in mph, and wind run is in miles. ________________ Nick.

Richard, no it doesn't ... the indices simply resolve the mean monthly flow into its W/E and N/S components. My feeling is that it certainly has been quite a windy July, but also that most unsettled summer months are windy. The big difference is that they are not as cool as they used to be. I seem to remember reading that July 1954 was a particularly windy month ... I'll see if I can dig out a few figures from the MWR. Philip |

How about the cold, dry July of the early 70s - 71? - as that had lower than average pressure and a strong westerly anomaly -- Graham P Davis, Bracknell, Berks., UK.
