A lot depends on where you are from, and what you are used to.
I drove long haul truck for a number of years. I always said, once you get east of the Mississippi River, there is no wind! Now, that is an oversimplification, but generally true.
I live in SW ND, and we get quite a bit of wind. What we call a breeze, people in the East call windy.
Most, if not all, of the West is windier than the east. So, for people from the West, what we call a breezy day, and normal, people from the East will scream too windy to drive! Terrible day, etc.
Perspective is everything.
