Hello everybody!

I would like to say that "Since I have been living here, it has (always) been very windy".

Is the sentence properly formulated or should I say as follows:

  • "Since my birth, it has (always) been very windy".
  • "Since I have lived here, it has (always) been very windy".

What is your opinion?

Thank you.
 
Your first suggestion doesn't include the idea of "here" (wherever that might be). It suggests it has been windy everywhere since you were born! Also, "since I was born" and "Since I have been living here" aren't necessarily the same thing.

I've lived here all my life/for XXX years and it's always been windy.
 
or
For as long as I can remember, it's always been windy here.
