Warming may boost ground winds but reduce those at turbine height in the Middle East, cutting wind energy output.

The wind gusts at the airport this March are not shown on this chart. CBS The Beaufort Wind scale further breaks this down, categorizing wind strength into 12 different categories.

While the category doesn’t account for rainfall or storm surge (two major hazards), it does give us a sense of the storm’s wind strength and potential for damage. Category 1 (74–95 mph ...

That interaction could bring mixed blessings. The strength of the storm, its wind speeds and the breadth of its storm surge all will depend on whether winds blowing over the Gulf of Mexico will be ...

in wind speed. Humberto and Zeta gained the most: 31 miles per hour (50 kph). In 85% of the storms studied in the last six years, the authors saw a fingerprint of climate change in storm strength ...
