Eli5 cross draft

537 views

Could anybody explain to me if I open two windows in my home, when there isn’t any wind outside, why a cross draft occurs and would there ever be an instance where a cross draft couldnt happen even if its windy?

Thanks so much!

In addition to what’s already been mentioned, it’s very rare for there not to be any wind at all. And even 1-2 m/s, which feels close to nothing, will create a pressure difference between two sides of the house which can translate into more wind through a small opening.
