Re: About wind hills or flat more windy?
In general it will be stronger on hilltops as they stick up into the "free" atmosphere and are less affected by the frictional effect of the ground. BUT it does depend on an awful lot of things: atmospheric stability and upwind topography being just two of them.WXStevo wrote:which one is more windy flat land or hills

Hi WXStevo,
To hopefully answer part of your question
ironically I am a born and breed Queenslander and now live in Tasmania, it's because of the Roaring Forties

Some links for you to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roaring_Forties and http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/ ... 038604.htmTasmania lies smack bang in the path of the roaring forties - westerly winds that rip around the Earth in latitudes between 40 and 50 degrees.
The Roaring Forties bring wild winds, wet weather and cold temperatures to Tasmania and southern Australia. The bane of sailors since Cook first circumnavigated Antarctica, these mighty winds influence everything from delicate native rain forest rodents to parrots and penguins.
regards,
Tony Beaumaris, Tasmania (AUS)
