In this study, climatology of high-wind events for the Manjil area in the province of Gilan is investigated. High winds are the dominant phenomenon in the region, with the average wind speeds sometimes exceeding 20 m/s. It is well known from reliable references that this phenomenon, which continues to the Qazvin plain, is a significant alternative to clean energy use. Because of being a windy area Manjil is capable of harnessing wind energy for electricity proposes. Therefore, investigating the characteristics of such winds and forecasting them can be very useful in meteorology as well as in optimizing the use of this clean energy. However, due to the existence of complex mountainous terrain, it is very difficult to predict such storms. This study uses long-term data from the Manjil Meteorological Station from 1995-1995 as well as short-term data from different time periods of the Rudbar Meteorological Station and the wind energy towers located over there. Results show that the frequency of high-wind events has been decreasing from 2000 to 2015 and again increasing from 2015 to 2018. The seasonal abundance of high winds indicates that these storms are dominant in the hot months of the year and mostly during the day and afternoon hours. Furthermore, high winds blow predominantly from the north.
