This is true. We sometimes have very strong winds in Boulder. The strongest winds I remember were about 150 miles per hour (about 240 kilometers per hour or 67 meters per second).

I don’t think I was outside for those winds, but I was for winds of the order of 100 miles per hour (160 km/hour), and the wind really did push you! The other way you could tell the wind direction was watching pieces of paper, wood, and other things flying by. One hopes that they go by without hitting you!

You know that was a great idea you have because I didnâ€™t think about it before, and it is that the flags will blow the same way that the wind blows.

So thanks for giving us a way to know what way the wind is blowing.

And another way is to feel which way the wind tries to push you

Que bueno que ustedes estan trabajando con el protocolo de atmosphera! Utilizando las bandaras para obsevar la orientacion del viento es un metodo buenisimo. Las banderas les dan a ustedes la misma orientacion del viento?

Muy interesante la relaciÃ³n que se hace entre el viento, las banderas y los edificios. En nuestro colegio trabajamos con el protocolo de atmÃ³sfera y tenemos dos banderas que utilizamos para observar la orientaciÃ³n del viento como un mÃ©todo de observaciÃ³n directa.
