We sometimes have very strong winds in Boulder. The strongest winds I remember were about 150 miles per hour (about 240 kilometers per hour or 67 meters per second).

I don’t think I was outside for those winds, but I was for winds of the order of 100 miles per hour (160 km/hour), and the wind really did push you! The other way you could tell the wind direction was watching pieces of paper, wood, and other things flying by. One hopes that they go by without hitting you!

So thanks for giving us a way to know what way the wind is blowing.

And another way is to feel which way the wind tries to push you :)

Utilizando las bandaras para obsevar la orientacion del viento es un metodo buenisimo. Las banderas les dan a ustedes la misma orientacion del viento?

(So good that you are working with the atmosphere protocol! Using the flags to observe the direction of the wind is a good method. Do the flags give you the same wind direction?)

En nuestro colegio trabajamos con el protocolo de atmósfera y tenemos dos banderas que utilizamos para observar la orientación del viento como un método de observación directa.
