Would thick atmospheres increase or decrease their strength and severity?

Just how dense is your atmosphere? The winds on Venus rarely reach 10mph at the surface, but the density of the air gives them pushing power comparable to 70mph winds on Earth. Unless temperature variations on your planet are a bit on the extreme side, you just get a species terrified of 30mph wind, and maybe a bit of hilarity and panic when they measure wind speeds on planets that look otherwise habitable to them.
