Low-wind years can result from natural climate variability, large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns or longer-term climate change trends. Regional climate drivers such as ENSO or PDO can significantly influence seasonal wind conditions.

Yes. Climate change may alter long-term wind patterns, seasonal variability and the frequency of low-wind events, potentially affecting wind farm energy production and financial performance.

Climate diagnostics help distinguish between normal climate variability and structural long-term changes. This improves risk assessment, energy yield modelling and investment decision-making for wind projects.

Wind anomalies are typically analysed using long-term historical datasets, reanalysis products, climate change diagnostics and statistical comparisons against historical climatology.
