Blowin' in the wind

According to the BBC weather site easterly winds in winter bring very cold air to the British Isles. The characteristics and path of the air determine whether it is cloudy (with perhaps rain, sleet or snow) or fine and sunny. In summer, an easterly wind will mean it is cool on the east coast but warm elsewhere, usually with clear skies. It also means that, combined with a high tide, things can get a little wet around here. Again.

This is Lammerlaws in Burntisland and despite a hundred years or more of winds and high tides these houses have managed to remain intact. How they have managed it I couldn't say.

I know the answer won't be blowin' in the wind.
