Wind speed


 
 

Wind speed is the speed of movement of air relative to a fixed point on the earth. It usually means the movement of air in an outside environment, but the speed of movement of air inside is important in many areas, including weather forecasting, aircraft and maritime operations, building and civil engineering. High wind speeds can cause unpleasant side effects, and strong winds often have special names, including gales, hurricanes, and typhoons. See the Beaufort scale for a discussion of this.
