The highest wind gust was reported in Wilmington, Ohio, at the Wilmington Air Park in Clinton County, according to the National Weather Service. Winds reached 67 mph at 3:53 p.m. Friday.
Peak wind speeds are forecast to reach 50 to 70 mph along the coasts and valleys, according to the weather service office in Los Angeles. Gusts of 60 to 80 mph will race across the mountains and ...
These low humidities, combined with the warm, compressionally-heated air mass, plus the high wind speeds, create critical fire weather conditions. The combination of wind, heat, and dryness accompanying the Santa Ana winds turns the chaparral into explosive fuel feeding the infamous wildfires for which the region is known.
The National Weather Service has also compiled a list of preliminary wind speeds and reported damage. Top wind speeds in Kentucky. Here’s the top wind gust speeds recorded via the state’s ...
As with the Fujita scale, the Enhanced Fujita scale is a damage scale and only an estimate for actual wind speeds. While the wind speeds associated with the damage listed did and have not undergone empirical analysis (such as detailed physical or any numerical modeling) due to expensive costs, the wind speeds were obtained through a process ...
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 ...
Hurricane Beryl gained 95 mph in wind speeds in just 42.5 hours. Then Milton’s winds increased by 95 mph in just 24 hours. Helene and Francine also rapidly intensified.
Each year, more than 2,000 tornadoes are recorded worldwide, with the vast majority occurring in North America and Europe. [1] [2] To assess the intensity of these events, meteorologist Ted Fujita devised a method to estimate maximum wind speeds within tornadic storms based on the damage caused; this became known as the Fujita scale. The scale ...
