up hear in the northeast of scotland the last few months have seen little let up in the gale force winds.. gusting up to and beyond 75mph.
why is it so windy and where does the wind come from?

The air moves about because it gets heated up by being near land in the sun and hot air rises so you get currents of air circulating as the cool sea air replaces it. However this doesn't explain the sudden increase in strong winds in Scotland but I suppose you could blame it on global warming if you wanted. I live in north England and we've had wind aswell, though I doubt it's as much as you've had...

It is the Gulf stream obviously coming up from the Gulf, what ever they have it blows over us several days later sometimes more persistent and sometimes less, in this case more so, it is the time of year for it you only notice it more now because in years gone by it bought the snow and hail as well so it gave you or things to focus on. Wait until March there will be more winds and at a higher gale force. Cheery aren't I?

This is the hangover from the good pre christmas weather we had, causing an excess in the world Brustle Sprout production which in turn leads to winds in excess of average for this time of year. Ultimatly this sprout over production was due to the global warming effect. If you dont believe have a close look outside at the plants, there sprouting already.

its got a lot to do with the air pressure out in the atlantic and the way it is approaching britain. its just bad luck that as it swings by it is hitting the north harder. the wind comes from the air being pressurised and pushed around the atmosphere by massive fronts. these fronts bring either cold or hot air and when pushed along they cause the wind to pick up as the front of the warm air pushes down on the cold.

may i make my apologies public. It is a mixture of beans, brussel sprouts and runny egg. mixed together these cause a large upsurge in methane gas to which i had the best fart in history. unfortunately at the time my rear end was facing in your direction and therefore it was like a combustion engine. again im sorry if this has caused you alarm.......lmao
