Alphabetical Capital Cities Trivia Questions
1. The capital city of New Zealand is considered the windiest city in the world. Which city is this?

From Quiz Windy, with a Capital W

Answer: Wellington

Wellington is so windy due to the mountains of both the south and north islands creating a wind tunnel as it funnels the wind across Cook Straight. One benefit of the windiness of this city is the lack of air pollution - it's far too windy for smog and other pollutants to be hanging around! Wellington has been the national capital of New Zealand since 1865.

2. Perth, the capital city of Western Australia, is known for its summer wind, the "Fremantle Doctor". Which general direction does it blow from?

From Quiz Windy, with a Capital W

Answer: Southwest

The "Fremantle Doctor" (also know as "The Doctor" or the "Freo Doctor") blows from the south-west, although it swings to the west-south-west and south-south-west. The wind blows in the summer months, cooling Perth and the southern region in the afternoons. For those living in the foothills of Perth, there is also a dry easterly wind that blows down over the hills in the evening, counteracting the Doctor and giving a fair indication of hot temperatures the next day. Perth was founded in 1829 and named after the city of the same name in Scotland.

3. The "Cape Doctor" is a south-easterly wind blowing over the wider area of the Western Cape Province. Which South African capital city bears the brunt of this cleansing wind?

From Quiz Windy, with a Capital W

Answer: Cape Town

Not to be confused with the "Fremantle Doctor" that blows through Perth, Australia each summer afternoon, the "Cape Doctor" blows from the south east clearing the city of Cape Town of pollution and "pestilence" between spring and summer each year. The wind is strong, dry and sometimes brings heavy rains. The winter winds are stronger in this region, but these are not as endearing to the locals as the north-westerly winds bring rain for days or weeks on-end. South Africa has three capital cities. Cape Town is the legislative capital while Bloemfontein and Pretoria are the judicial and executive capitals respectively.

4. The capital city of the Faroe Islands is cloudy and windy all year round - it's just the intensity that varies. What is this capital city?

From Quiz Windy, with a Capital W

Answer: Torshavn

Torshavn lies in the south of Streymoy, the largest of the Faroe Islands and to the east of two mountains separated by a river. This city is amongst the cloudiest places on earth with only 2.4 hours of significant sunshine per day. Along with the wind, the excessive cloud cover makes for very mild temperatures, with little variation, throughout the year.

5. Which Canadian provincial capital holds the distinction of being the snowiest, foggiest, wettest, cloudiest and windiest? No bones about it, this capital city has amongst the wildest winters in Canada!

From Quiz Windy, with a Capital W

Answer: St John's

St John's' climate is humid continental, meaning that there are large seasonal temperature differences. Summer is warm-hot, and winters are generally cold. St John's is prone to cyclones due to its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean where tropical storms travel from the United States. St. John's is the capital and largest city of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

The city lies on the north of the Straight of Magellan, making it important in the logistical nightmare of accessing the Antarctic Peninsula.

Temperatures are not extreme, however the area in which Baku is located us very dry and windy. Despite the strong winds, Baku is one of the most polluted cities in the world, thanks to its past as a Soviet industrial centre.

10. Reykjavik is situated in an area made up of peninsulas, coves, straits and islands, making it prone to windy conditions and strong gales in winter. It is located in the southwest of which country?

Answer: Iceland

The coastal location of Reykjavik makes it susceptible to year-round wind, with strong gales in winter months. Reykjavik is also one of the coldest capitals of any nation in the world. The first permanent settlement at the site that is now Reykjavik is believed to have been established as far back as AD 874!

11. One of the windiest cities on earth, Rio Gallegos is the capital of the Santa Cruz province in which South American country?

From Quiz Windy, with a Capital W

Answer: Argentina

The climate of Rio Gallegos is dry, windy, cold and occasionally snowy. Winds above 50 km/h (31mph) are normal, and winds over 100km/h (62mph) not unusual. Average temperatures don't vary a lot during the year, and the constant winds keep temperatures down in summer. This also means that the area is quite dry and there is little rainfall.
