My father and I were having a discussion on why wind occurs. We already knew that it was air particles rushing from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure but we determined a problem with that. If that is the case should it not always be windy? Since there will always be areas of low and high air pressure shouldn't you always feel wind?
If you are in an area of high pressure you would feel wind hitting you as it goes to an are of low pressure. Furthermore, if you are in an area of low pressure wind would hit you as it comes to fill the area. On a clear day with no clouds in the area it should be high pressure everywhere so why is it so windy?
Thanks for any replies
