The physics answer has been given, but since this is asked under an Engineering tag it should also be noted that there is something called wind engineering setting standards for the wind speed a building should be able to withstand, and there will be turbulence effects from the neighboring buildings and the height of the window above ground which modify the local wind velocity compared to the wind speed you see on a weather map.
