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.
Constant pressure charts normally contain plotted values of temperature, humidity, wind, and the vertical height above sea level of the pressure surface. [29] They have a variety of uses. In the mountainous terrain of the western United States and Mexican Plateau, the 850 hPa pressure surface can be a more realistic depiction of the weather ...
Sir Francis Beaufort. The scale that carries Beaufort's name had a long and complex evolution from the previous work of others (including Daniel Defoe the century before). In the 18th century, naval officers made regular weather observations, but there was no standard scale and so they could be very subjective — one man's "stiff breeze" might be another's "soft breeze"—: Beaufort succeeded ...
The HDP index was later modified to further include tropical storms, that is, all wind speeds of at least 34 knots (≥ 63 km/h; 39 mph), [4] to become the accumulated cyclone energy index. [6] The highest ACE calculated for a single tropical cyclone on record worldwide is 87.01, set by Cyclone Freddy in 2023. [7]
Here's a look at the wind speeds and rain totals that the storm left in its wake. Peak wind gusts for Hurricane Milton and tornadoes Al’s Family Farms Citrus, 2001 North Kings Highway on Friday ...
The brutal wind and torrential rainfall of Hurricane Milton that killed 16 people in Florida this week were worsened by human-caused climate change, a team of international scientists said on Friday.
A wind atlas contains data on the wind speed and wind direction in a region. [1] These data include maps , but also time series or frequency distributions . A climatological wind atlas covers hourly averages at a standard height (10 meters) over even longer periods (30 years) but depending on the application there are variations in averaging ...
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.
