Windy Wellington
Have you ever wondered which city in the world is (1) the windiest? The winds in Wellington, New Zealand are often 30 kilometres per hour. This makes the city (2) windier than other famous cities such as Chicago and Edinburgh. On many days in Wellington, the winds are more (3) 60 kilometres per hour. And on around 20 days a year, the wind speed can be as much (4) as 80 kilometres per hour. The fastest wind speed ever recorded was (5).

When do people talk about the weather?
What problems do extreme weather conditions cause for people? Why?
Will people ever be able to control the weather? Why? / Why not?
People talk about the weather when they need a neutral topic for conversation or when weather conditions impact their daily lives. Extreme weather conditions cause problems such as property damage, health risks, and disruptions to transportation and agriculture because they can be unpredictable and destructive. People may never fully control the weather due to the immense complexity and scale of atmospheric systems, though localized weather modification is possible in limited ways.
