Reply to comment by jasonleeobrien in Is there any reason why the wind is so much more aggressive in Jersey City compared to the surrounding areas? by yesiam_samiam

It’s for sure more windy than normal because of the storm but I do think it’s windier here on average than other places (no data or science to back that just my observation)

I hear you. I also thing the proximity to open water and just building might have something to do with it too as generally lots of trees, etc. will generally tamp down wind, and downtown is lacking in lots of tree cover.
