If you’ve ever tried to open your car door in Lubbock and nearly lost it to the atmosphere…you already know. The wind here isn’t just a little breezy; it’s rather aggressive. Sometimes disrespectful, even.
You aren’t imagining it. Lubbock is truly one of the windiest cities in the United States.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
According to data from the NOAA, Lubbock consistently ranks near the top for average wind speeds among other U.S. cities.
On average, our winder speed hovers around 12 to 13 mph. During the spring months, that speed increases to over 20 mphs…and FAR beyond.
So…Why Is It Like This?
God doesn’t hate us. Nope. Not by a long shot…
