Oh wow, that is pretty crazy. I know sometimes you can see our blinds move even though our windows are shut. I think that speaks more to how crappy our windows are versus the actual strength of the wind!
Well, here it's definitely both lol. But the stupid thing is that in the bedrooms there are two layers of windows, still the shitty ones like in the rest of the house but at least their the blinds are protected as they are in between the two window layers. In summer that's ideal as you can open your winwows fully but leave the blinds just a bit open with these tiny holes for some air but no mosquitos being able to enter :)
We are at a true windy spot and the corner of the livingroom catches a lot of wind but I guess soon these extreme winds will be gone for some months until winter :)
Tell me about it! Before moving from Hungary to Spain, I had 2 summers where I had extreme allergic reactions to mosquitos, it was not doable so bad it itched and looked lol. The first years here, same..
Last year, I had two mosquito bites in April I think and after that, none. I would like to continue this path because I had my fair share of mosquito horror. It's the tiger mosquitos that are so horrible and those are the ones we see most here..
How's that on your end of the world?
They get pretty bad when we go camping sometimes, but we have Thermacells that we use to keep them at bay. It helps quite a bit. My wife is allergic too and she breaks out in hives if she gets too many bites.
