The wind is blowing so nicely.

Hi

Could you please tell me if all these sentences are natural? Any suggestions are welcome.

The wind is blowing so nicely.
It’s blowing so nicely.
The wind is drafty today.
I was on my terrace and it was so wonderfully drafty there.

Let's sit by the window and enjoy the drafts.

Thanks,

Tom

'Draft's are unpleasant. 'Nice' is too vague; think of a more specific adverb.

Thanks again. One last question. Is this sentence fully natural?

It was so drafty in the car on the way back that we had to roll up the windows.

It doesn't seem natural to me to speak of a wind as draughty (BrE spelling).

Yes, that is a bit much, isn't it? It's the house that's draughty, not the wind.
