- tr352 10y agoWind is usually stronger during daylight.

Near coasts, for example, the physics driving sea and land breezes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind#Sea_and_land_breezes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind#Sea_and_land_breezes) will either increase or decrease wind speed depending on local prevailing winds. It also can depend a lot on height (very important for wind turbines)

- nickik 10y agoSolar thermal can mostly solve the problem.
