windiest
Having strongest gusts
Windiest is the superlative of windy—the most windy.
A place that is the windiest has more wind than anywhere else being compared: Chicago bills itself as the Windy City, but it's not the windiest city in America.
Windiest also applies to the most long-winded speech: That was the windiest sermon I've ever sat through.
