The amount of wind that Canada's major cities average in a year is listed below. The tables give the normal annual wind speed, in miles per hour (mph) and kilometres per hour (kph). There's also information on how many days a year have strong winds, when it blows at least 52 kph (32.3 mph).
A guide that helps mariners to estimate the wind speed over open water based on the observed wave conditions.
Environment and Climate Change Canada's Wind Atlas web site features colour maps representing the average wind velocity and power on the whole country, as well as corresponding geophysical characteristics, all available in an easy to use browsing interface that allows you to go quickly to the heart of the meteorological data.
Estimating Wind Speed. [ Also, see estimating wind speed and sea states while at sea ] Calm wind. Smoke rises vertically with little if any drift. Direction of wind shown by smoke drift, not by wind vanes. Little if any movement with flags. Wind barely moves tree leaves. Wind felt on face.
The Monthly Mean Wind Speed map for each month shows the overall average wind speed at each location. The Wind Speed Anomaly maps show where average wind speed was slower (blue) or faster (red) than the recent 30-year average.
The Global Wind Atlas is a free, web-based application developed to help policymakers, planners, and investors identify high-wind areas for wind power generation virtually anywhere in the world, and then perform preliminary calculations.
