The Beaufort Wind Scale categorizes various wind speeds up to hurricane strength (74 miles per hour) and is used in weather forecasting. It says that 55 to 63 mph gale winds can break large branches off trees and knock down small to medium-sized trees.
âLow wind speeds affecting more than 90 per cent of the country are only likely to occur for about an hour, once every five years during the winter.â âWith a sustained wind speed of 165 mph for 12 hours, with occasional gusts measured at between 185 to 200 mph, the building swayed alarmingly.â âIn exposed skin, the risk of a freezing injury increases with higher wind speeds.â
