‘Muy’ modifies adjectives, not nouns; use ‘mucho’ with ‘viento’.
En marzo hace mucho viento por este lugar.
‘Por aquí’ is the natural colloquial way; ‘por este lugar’ sounds overly formal.

Cultural Tip
Many parts of Spain (especially the north) and some Latin‑American regions experience strong March winds, known locally as ‘el viento de primavera’. When talking about weather, Spaniards often use the impersonal ‘hace’ while Latin Americans may prefer ‘hay’ or ‘sopla’. Adding ‘por aquí’ makes the comment sound informal and personal, as if you’re speaking to a neighbor or a friend.
