Windy Before Rain

Being an amateur meteorologist, I've noticed that when a calm day suddenly turns gusty, it can be a sign of approaching rain. It's natural to imagine that wind strength is fairly consistent over the space of 30 minutes or an hour, but when there are stormy systems in your neighbourhood, it can go from still to strong winds then rain then still again several times over.

So next time you feel that sudden strong wind, get under cover.
