Reply to comment by Brudesandwich in Is there any reason why the wind is so much more aggressive in Jersey City compared to the surrounding areas? by yesiam_samiam
How do high rises make it windier? I'd think more high rises like in midtown helps to block wind

My understanding is that while the buildings do block it, it still has to go somewhere, so wherever there’s room for the wind to go, it creates wind tunnels around them. It really only works to truly block if it’s all densely packed (like if you’re walking down the block in midtown it’s ok, but then as soon as you get to the corner you get slammed)

There are also storms and winds that come up from The south west that pushes towards the north east Atlantic.
