The Sun. As we enter the spring months of the year, the sun's angle relative to the surface of the earth increases, allowing more direct exposure to the ground causing warm air to rise. When this warm air rises, air rushes in to 'fill' in where it left, causing greater surface winds.
Why is spring the windiest time of the year?
Why is March D.C.'s windiest month? Wind is driven by differences in temperature and air pressure over small distances. In March, when winter is transitioning to spring, cold air masses and warm air masses are frequently in close proximity in the eastern U.S., which creates strong wind.
