Driving from Denver to Des Moines
we see wind farms all over western Iowa...

- Wind farms are most prevalent in the north and west portion of Iowa.
- Wind maps show wind speeds are on average strongest from November through April, peaking in March. August is the month with the weakest average wind speeds.
- On a daily cycle, there is a slight rise in average wind speeds in the afternoon, from 1 to 6 p.m.
Like those photographs especially the last one.
