Based on the very limited experience of going out practically every lunchtime and weathervaning around in the park so as to play my whistle, No, I can’t say I’ve noticed it being more windy than usual for a winter in the UK.
Well up here around beautiful downtown Scunthorpe - ye want to see what spellchecker just suggested there - it has been very windy now for quite a while, far more breeze than usual for a winter.
Every time I look out the window it’s blowing a gale, has been for ages now.
Not British, but I will say that the wind HERE has been way more than usual. This past winter was the windiest I remember in this area…trees toppling left and right because of the high winds that blew on a constant basis. My mother in law said that she doesn’t ever remember it like this here, and she’s lived here since she was a little girl. It does seem like things are changing, climatically anyway.
You lot don’t know you’re bloody born. Try living on the north Cornwall coast facing west in a typical English winter. I’m still searching five miles inland for some of my washing and a dozen roof tiles after a good blow we had in January.
Bude’s near enough to the English border so as not to make any difference climatologically-speaking. My roof tiles and smalls probably blew over the border anyway.
