With the fastest sustained wind speeds in the solar system of 700mph. The main explanation I have heard is Neptune's primordial heat from it's formation combined with the lower atmospheric drag due to lower temperature. Neptune's southern hemisphere is currently in summer and has gotten warmer. I still wonder why this is possible.
