You are trying to solder a connector in cool high winds.
Because of the wind, the part cools faster than your
propane torch can keep it hot.

If you can't get out of the wind and can't wait to complete
the job, what is the simplest work around to get your part
soldered? [1 pt]

I would make up the connection and wrap some solder around it, so that if
sufficient heat hits the join even for only a handful of seconds, the solder
is already in place. The question still remains of how to get the heat in.
With a free hand that is no longer holding solder, some sort of local
shelter could me made. Could cup the area with the spare hand to shield it,
or shelter it with the side of your open jacket. Maybe some trickery could
be done like blocking off some of the air holes at the base of the propane
burner, allowing the gas to come out relatively deoxygenated, with the
oxygen being added by the rush of air from the wind - let the resulting
downwind blue flame play over the join.
