Sorry, Chicago. Nashville was the USA's windiest city in 2016
The windiest city in the U.S. in 2016 was Nashville, according to a yearly analysis of weather data from CoreLogic, a research and consulting firm.As a Nashville native and having lived in the Nashville GMA for 19 of the last 22 years, I believe it. My wife, a North Carolina native, said recently that Nashville is the only place she's ever been (which includes much of the world) where you can experience all four seasons in one weekend.
The city came in first among the nation's largest 279 metro areas, CoreLogic said. The ranking takes into account both the number of strong wind events as well as the total force caused by any severe wind gusts of 60 mph or more.
Nashville had 21 wind-related events in 2016 and a maximum wind speed of 72 mph.
