Ask around and a lot of people will tell you they think it’s getting windier.
“It’s sort of a running joke in the weather and climate field is that everywhere you go, people think that it’s getting windier over time,” said Dr. Russ Schumacher, Colorado’s State Climatologist and associate professor of atmospheric science at CSU.“Unfortunately wind is one of those variables that hasn’t been tracked consistently over the years as temperature and precipitation we have records going back to the late 1800s in many places, but the wind records are not nearly as complete.
Schumacher notes some may point to climate change, but it’s not clear what may be happening there either. “There’s plenty of reason to believe that winds will change as a result of climate change, but exactly what that looks like is I think a little bit uncertain.”Winds may be faster, or slower. What he is certain about is that at this time of year, winds are greater in Colorado.
“As we transition from the winter into the spring the jet stream is very active, over the United States and we often get a really strong jet stream to come down over Colorado in the spring here kind of develop these strong low pressure systems in the great plains and behind those low pressure systems is often when we get the really strong winds.”
