Spring's big winds

A strong cold front triggers gusty winds.
A strong cold front triggers gusty winds across the eastern U.S. as a storm system moves through.

As winter turns to spring, and as warm and cold air bring a roller coaster of temperatures, big wind gusts usually accompany the transition.

One day it's in the 70s with plentiful sunshine and evening thunderstorms. The next day, you're back in your winter coat with snow flurries and blustery winds. Many may even experience all four seasons in one day! This is all thanks to the clash of warm and cold air masses - creating big spring winds.

What is transition season?read more

The winds are created by two atmospheric mechanisms over a small distance: a fast change in pressure or a fast change in temperature.

The TemperatureRadar can show you where a tight gradient of temperatures is occurring, thanks to a cold front. When this is happening, check the WindRadar. We bet you'll see gusty wind activity.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. 155 mph winds. . Weather Videos. Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
