Wind speed is a
common factor in the design of structures and buildings around the world. The
wind speed is often the governing factor in the "lateral" design of a
structure and is used by professional engineers and designers. Wind speed
affects weather forecasting, aircraft and maritime operations, construction
projects, growth and metabolism rate of many plant species, and countless other
implications, also local weather conditions play a key role in influencing wind
speed, as the formation of hurricanes, monsoons and cyclones as freak weather
conditions can drastically affect the velocity of the wind. Wind speed is
caused by air moving from high pressure to low pressure.
It is measured as follows,
It is measured as follows,
1. Beaufort scale
2. Fujita scale and
Enhanced Fujita Scale
3. Saffir–Simpson
Hurricane Scale
4. TORRO scale
Unit of Measurement
for Wind speeds are either one of following
1.meter per Second
(m/s)
2.kilometers per
hour (km/h)
3.miles per hour
(mph) &
4.Knot (unit)
Wind Speeds are
classified as calm, light, Breeze, Gale, Storm and Hurricane. Also note that
Breeze, Gale & Storm are further classified as Light, Moderate & Strong.
