It takes some getting used to but I wouldn't live in any other state. Points along the interface between the western border of the short grass plains and the Front Range of the Rockies tend to be extremely windy, regardless of their specific location.
To this day, the grand old Prince of Wales Hotel, located in Waterton Lakes National Park, does not sit square as a result of gale-force winds which struck while the foundation was being laid. Similarly, I am reminded of a flight back from Denver, one in which the pilot announced that "we will be arriving 30 minutes ahead of schedule thanks to a mile per hour tailwind coming off of the Rockies.
Not sure I understand. The "Front Range" is in Colorado. We really don't have or call it a front range up here. I live on the Eastern side of the Big Horns and we don't get very much wind at all.

Most recent value. Based on data. Simply so, what is the average wind speed in Cheyenne Wyoming? Similarly, where in Wyoming is it not windy? If you want to escape the wind , head to Worland. It's the least windy town in Wyoming. Wyoming is very windy , we all know that.
Places like Rawlins, Laramie, Cheyenne and Casper all experience the strongest wind speeds on an annual basis.
Wyoming sits in the perfect spot,the jet stream travels west to east,then add high pressure in the Great Basin and low pressure in the plains region and Wyoming gets squeezed.
This causes our winds. Sometimes it can get high as hurricane force winds. Is Wyoming colder than Montana? The sixth-coldest state in the U. What is the warmest part of Wyoming? Named after the Greek word for "hot city", the city is home to the largest mineral hot spring in the world and boasts an average year-round high temperature of Amarillo TX Rochester MN Cheyenne WY Casper WY Great Falls MT Goodland KS With global warming, one would expect to see a decreasing average wind speed trend as the thermal gradient between the poles and the equator lessen.
However, although all stations showed this negative trend, only Lander's trend was determined to be statistically significant. When comparing annual wind direction frequencies figure Generally, the winds from the most prominent prevailing direction will vary by five percent of the time and lesser percentage for other wind directions. Wind direction is generally correlated to annual precipitation for most wind directions except for Sheridan's southerly wind component where no significance exists.
However, wind direction is not correlated to annual average temperature for any of the stations in this study. Annual wind direction frequencies for Casper, Cheyenne, Lander, and Sheridan As noted in Figure Optimal positioning of snow fences maximum snow catch is achieved when winds are perpendicular to these structures. Prevailing snow transport in Wyoming based on modeled data. Since wind chill cannot be measured by thermometer and there are no climate records or statistics of just how cold "it feels", the discussion of this topic seems more relevant to wind.
This newer index calculates wind speed at an average height of five feet typical height of an adult human face based on readings from the national standard height of 33 feet typical height of an anemometer. Higher resolution reports at 10 to 15 minute intervals from are available on the Atlas CD. Note that there is only a small difference between average and maximum winds.
Arlington, WY average monthly wind speed based on 10 to 15 minute reports. Windsock photo courtesy of Tom Dietrich Share this page. Wind Wyoming Wind Sock 90 P is the wind pressure in pounds per square foot lbs ft V is the wind speed in miles per hour mph. Another rule is that every ft m increase in elevation above the ft 50 m generator height will result in an increase in the mean wind speed of 1.
This is most applicable to small, isolated hills or ridges in otherwise flat terrain. It should be used with caution in mountains where it is difficult to determine what the "average" elevation is and where wind flows can be very complex. Local wind speed variations will result where the local surface roughness differs substantially example: a pasture surrounded by forest.
