I got this from noise, a mailing list that I subscribe to at work. I don't know why I'm posting this actually. I don't find it cool.
Whatever.

Wellington Weather

I know that Wellington is a windy city but today is just too much for me. I wanted to cross the street after parking my car but it seemed that my foot is not moving anywhere and I was trying to keep myself from toppling backwards. It took me around 10 seconds to get to the door of the building where I work, even though my car was just parked exactly across the entrance. My puff jacket didn't help. Well it was awesome in keeping away the cold but the wind turned it into a parachute. The guy sitting next to me at work said he couldn't get out of his car because he couldn't open the door. He had to wait for the wind to die down a bit before he could get out. Flights are being cancelled and even the trains going to the Hutt (where I currently live but am dying to get out of) have been replaced by buses.

And Manila was battered by typhoons last week too. Funny thing is that during winter here, the wind feels like a Philippine storm signal number 3 but everyone just acts normal. Schools don't close and I think they don't care if the kids play outside in this weather.

Here's a link I found in youtube about how windy it is in Welly. First one is about the Wellington airport on 'normal' days.

And this is from a typical day with gale force winds. It's even sunny so most people won't think this is too bad.
