"An Extreme Threat to Life and Property from High Wind."
"Damaging high wind" with sustained speeds greater than 58 mph, or frequent wind gusts greater than 58 mph.Damaging wind conditions are consistent witha high wind warning.
High
"A High Threat to Life and Property from High Wind."
"High wind" with sustained speeds of 40 to 57 mph.Wind conditions consistent witha high wind warning.
"A Moderate Threat to Life and Property from High Wind."
"Very windy" with sustained speeds of 26to 39 mph, or frequent wind gusts of 35 to 57mph. Wind conditions consistent with a wind advisory.
Low
"A Low Threat to Life and Property from High Wind."
"Windy" conditions. Sustained windspeeds of 21to 25 mph, or frequent windgusts of 30 to 35mph.
Very Low
" A Very Low Threat to Life and Property from High Wind."
"Breezy" to "Windy" conditions. Sustained wind speeds around 20 mph, or frequent gusts of25 to 30 mph.
Non-Threatening
" No Discernable Threat to Life and Property from High Wind."
The sustain wind speeds are non-threatening; "breezy" conditions may still be present.
Note: In "High Wind" conditions, small branches break off trees and loose objects are blown about. Isolated occurrences of wind damage to porches, carports, awnings, or pool enclosures. Isolated power outages may even occur. Winds considered dangerous for high profile vehicles and for boaters on area lakes. In "Damaging High Wind" conditions, wind damage occurs to unanchored mobile homes, porches, carports, awnings, pool enclosures and with some shingles blown from roofs. Large branches break off trees with weak or diseased trees blown down. Loose objects are easily blown about and can become dangerous projectiles. Widely scattered power outages may occur. Winds considered extremely dangerous for high profile vehicles and for boaters on area lakes.
Wind is simply air in motion. Usually in meteorology, when we are talking about the wind it is the horizontal speed and direction we are concerned about. For example, if you hear a report of a west wind at 15 mph (24 km/h) that means the horizontal winds will be coming FROM the west at that speed.
As well as adjectives, verbs can also be used to add impact and interest to your writing. For example, we may say that a storm tears through a place, or that it is raging. Some nice words to describe wind include gusty (when it starts and stops), biting (when it is very cold) and howling (when it makes a loud noise).
Wind is the movement of air, caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun and the Earth's own rotation. Winds range from light breezes to natural hazards such as hurricanes and tornadoes.
Wind is the movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. In fact, wind exists because the sun unevenly heats the surface of the Earth. As hot air rises, cooler air moves in to fill the void. As long as the sun shines, the wind will blow.
Weather forecasts typically give the direction of the wind along with its speed, for example a "northerly wind at 15 km/h" is a wind blowing from the north at a speed of 15 km/h. If wind gusts are present, their speed may also be reported.
Wind direction is defined as the direction the wind is coming from. If you stand so that the wind is blowing directly into your face, the direction you are facing names the wind.
Wind action is the movement of wind through the air. When wind action is strong it results in wind erosion, which is when particles are broken down and spread around as the wind blows. Wind abrasion occurs when objects are worn down causing pieces to break off.
Wind can impart a force, it's movement is induced by several forces (pressure gradient caused by a temperature differential within the atmosphere and the Coriolis Effect which is caused by the rotation of the Earth and the drag it imparts on the atmosphere), but wind itself is not a force.
Wind power or wind energy is a form of renewable energy that harnesses the power of the wind to generate electricity. It involves using wind turbines to convert the turning motion of blades, pushed by moving air (kinetic energy) into electrical energy (electricity).
