This question has been asked, but people say it doesn’t and “the calm before the storm” is just a figure of speech.
I live in a little town thats known by locals for its never-ending gusty winds. Winds that *will* tear up anything not solid and/or bolted to the ground. Usually in the summer, right before we are to get a thunderstorm, the wind stops. Its almost creepy outside for the lack of any wind whatsoever. Then, few hours will pass and we get hit with gusts so strong that they will knock you off balance, which brings in the storm.
What causes this stillness in the air?
In: Earth Science
Storms often form along a cold front. This has warm wind moving perpendicular to cold wind, and right on that line is where the storm forms. As those winds pass over it may feel calm between them.
