What does BLOWY mean in Scrabble?
adjective
informal
Marked by strong or gusty wind; windy.
Blowy is an informal way of describing weather in which the wind is noticeably strong, gusting rather than blowing steadily. People use it casually about a day at the coast or on a hill, where hats, umbrellas and hair are all disturbed by the gusts. It carries a lighter, more conversational tone than the plainer word windy, and is common in weather chat rather than formal forecasts. The word is built from blow with the adjective suffix -y, following the same pattern as words like rainy or snowy.
