  2. Loo (wind) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loo_(wind)

    The Loo is a strong, dusty, gusty, hot and dry summer wind from the west which blows over the Indo-Gangetic Plain region of North India and Pakistan. [1] It is especially strong in the months of May and June. Due to its very high temperatures (45 °C–50 °C or 115 °F–120 °F), exposure to it often leads to fatal heatstrokes. [1]

  3. Beaufort scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale

    Wind speed on the Beaufort scale is based on the empirical relationship: [6] v = 0.836 B 3/2 m/s; v = 1.625 B 3/2 knots (=) where v is the equivalent wind speed at 10 metres above the sea surface and B is Beaufort scale number.

    In January, in Lucknow, the temperature can plunge below freezing; Lucknow recorded 0.0 °C or 32.0 °F on 18 January 2017. ... Wind. In summer, ...

  5. Wind speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_speed

    An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. Global distribution of wind speed at 10m above ground averaged over the years 1981–2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1] In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in ...

  6. Wind profile power law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_profile_power_law

    The wind profile power law relationship is = where is the wind speed (in metres per second) at height (in metres), and is the known wind speed at a reference height .The exponent is an empirically derived coefficient that varies dependent upon the stability of the atmosphere.

  7. Log wind profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log_wind_profile

    The equation to estimate the mean wind speed at height (meters) above the ground is: = [⁡ + (,,)] where is the friction velocity (m s −1), is the Von Kármán constant (~0.41), is the zero plane displacement (in metres), is the surface roughness (in meters), and is a stability term where is the Obukhov length from Monin-Obukhov similarity theory.

  8. Tropical cyclone intensity scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone_intensity...

    These warnings use a 1-minute sustained wind speed and can be compared to the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale, however, regardless of intensity in this basin the JTWC labels all systems as tropical cyclones with TC numbers (plus any parenthesized names or placeholders, like typhoons and North Indian Ocean cyclones above). [18]

  9. Cyclone Hudhud - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Hudhud

    The maximum wind gust recorded by the High Wind Speed Recorder (HWSR) instrument of the Cyclone Warning Center in Visakhapatnam was 260 km/h (160 mph). Measured by the Doppler weather radar stationed in the city, the storm's eye was 66 km (41 mi) in diameter. The strength of the winds disrupted telecommunication lines and damaged the radar ...
