City of Winds

Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan that lies on the banks of the Caspian Sea, is also called the City of Winds.

The City of Winds (Azerbaijani: Küləklər şəhəri) is an unofficial, literary name for Baku, mainly because it is windy throughout most of the year. The name derives from the ancient Persian name of this locality: بادکوبه (Bādkube, lit. "pounding winds"). There are two winds common to Baku: cold and rough Khazri, and mild and gentle Gilavar. The former is associated with negativeness, while the latter is associated with goodness, forming an important chain in Azerbaijani mythology and beliefs that is related to the struggle of Good and Evil.

Cooling effect experienced by humans due to velocity of wind as measured from the windshield of an automobile traveling at a rate of speed equivalent to current wind conditions as reported by the National Weather Service (NWS).
