But the whole point is that you are more likely to encounter turbulance on a windy day.
Plus when the wind componant is 30% of the cruise speed the effect is much more noticeable.
I have always found it more comfortable flying into wind on a turbulent day, rather than tailwind. Hard to define but the plane just feels "happier" .
