Not a dumb question at all!
Technically, yes, wind at the same speed would be less impactful at higher elevations than at sea level. Because the density of the air is lower, there are fewer molecules to blow against you and create the resistance you feel in heavy winds.
Wind load (the force of wind pushing on an object) is directly proportional to air density, meaning the wind load in Denver (where the density is on average 82% that of sea level) would also be 82% of that at sea level.
However, realistically, any difference would probably be negligible in terms of what your body experiences. So it might be 18% less forceful, but would you really notice?
Still think weather isn't real @hen_ease?
Students in @KnightsofPHS's URise program have been swinging into action for Sunrise Lake Outdoor Education Center. They spent five months building these swings to make a difference in the community! https://t.co/zMgbOEt0Hi

I am very honored to be coaching in the PanCAN games tomorrow. My journey with water polo started when I was 12 years old and Rob was my coach. Rob made me fall in love with the game and I can’t imagine my life without water polo. Thank you Rob 💜 @HerseyHuskies@herseygirlspolo
The PanCAN games are tomorrow at Prospect! Come support a great cause and celebrate the life of Rob Lindgren.
Rob was the inspiration for countless athletes to try water polo. His patience, passion, and time spent coaching is the reason water polo is so popular in our area today.
