NOAA: Boulder IS the windy city
Feb 18th
Everything you have wanted to know about high winds in Boulder, and then some.
In a nut shell: In 42 years worth of data, 175 days recorded winds of 70 m.p.h. or greater. Eighty six of these occurred in December and January. The highest wind gust recorded was 137 m.p.h. on Jan. 16-17, 1982, with 20 gusts of greater than 120 m. p. h. Forty percent of all Boulder buildings sustained damage. Most of the highest winds were in south Boulder.
Boulder has some of the highest peak winds of any city in the US.
