Wind Records Show Decline in Lawrence Winds Over Years
The Lawrence wind data from the University weather station show a long term decrease since records began. Wind totals fell from about 150000 miles in early years to around 100000 in 1915, with prior peaks near 145000, while snowfall and rainfall remained comparatively steady. Experts suggest moisture from cultivation and tree growth may influence wind amounts, noting Lawrence trees and urban development could alter wind patterns over time.
