What time of day is the wind the slowest?
What time of day is the wind the slowest? It usually reaches its maximum speed shortly after midnight and decreases in the morning as daytime heating dissipates the inversion. This phenomenon is known as the low-level nocturnal jet stream.
What time of day is least windy?
Why is there generally less wind at nighttime than daytime? The nighttime causes the surface to cool off, creating a temperature inversion that is very stable. Winds aloft can't mix down to the surface in those conditions, hence the winds usually die down at night.
