What Causes the ‘Windy’ Feeling Before a Storm?

Before a storm, the air feels windy because the sky is getting ready for a big change. Imagine you're in a room with a fan that's slowly spinning, it doesn't feel very strong yet. But then the fan speeds up, and suddenly it's blowing hard! That’s what happens when a storm comes: the wind gets stronger as the pressure changes. It’s like the sky is taking a deep breath before letting out a big gust of air.
