Actually, we get very nice breezes. Depends on the time of year.
Crosswinds, sometimes. I like sitting outside when the wind will blow
up from one direction... wait a minute and the wind comes back from the
other direction. It's relaxing to watch the tops of the trees as as the
wind changes direction. Interesting. Doesn't usually happen when it's
extremely hot and humid, though.

Do I complain about the rain? It doesn't bother me. Keeps me from
grilling stuff sometimes but I have other ways to cook things. I'm not
a die-hard griller.

Rain? I sleep very well if there's a good thunderstorm. Heck, I slept
through Hurricane Matthew. LOL I have a sound machine that is set to
the sound of rain with occasional thunder. (The real thing is so much
better!) When the power went out at 3:30AM that morning I was able to
go right back to sleep to the sound of the wind and rain.

He's deflecting from my question. What do I have to be jealous about?
