The 10 Windiest Cities in Oklahoma and How Residents Adapt

Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City stands as the windiest city in Oklahoma, with average wind speeds reaching about 13.6 mph. This constant breeze isn’t just a whisper through the trees; it’s a force that residents must reckon with daily. For many, securing outdoor furniture has become a necessity rather than a choice. Imagine waking up to find your patio chairs scattered across the yard or a garden table tipped over. This is a common sight. To combat this, locals often invest in weighted bases for umbrellas and heavier outdoor furniture. Wind chimes, while beautiful, must be hung securely to prevent them from becoming a neighborhood nuisance. Gardening enthusiasts also face challenges, often opting for wind-resistant plants that can withstand the gusts.
