Is the size of the hurricane related to its wind speed?
No
What is the size and wind speed of an average strength hurricane?
The average hurricane is 300 miles wide and the average wind speed is likely around 100 mph.
What causes a hurricane to gain size and speed?
when the water is at about 80 degrees f, and when wind circulates it causes a hurricane
What wind speed must be reached for a hurricane to develop?
75mphOnce a tropical storm has a wind speed of 74 mph it is officially a hurricane so 74 is the lowest wind speed for a hurricane.
What is the official wind speed to create a hurricane?
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.

How fast do the wind have to be a hurricane?
The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 74 mph.
What is the wind speed of a category 1 hurricane?
The wind speed is 74-95 mph in a category one hurricane.
What is the official wind speed to create a hurricane?
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be considered a hurricane is 74 mph.
What is the width of a category 3 hurricane?
There is no given size. Hurricanes are rated based on wind speed, not size and there is no real curreclation between the strength of a hurricane and its size. A category 3 hurricane has sustained winds of 111 to 129 mph.
What is the maximum sustained wind speed of a category 2 hurricane?
The maximum wind speed of a category 2 hurricane is 110 mph.
What is the diameter of a category five hurricane?
This is no given diameter. Hurricanes are rated based on wind speed, not size. A hurricane is classified as a category 5 if sustained wind reach or exceed 157 mph.
What is the difference between the size and strength of a hurricane?
The size of a hurricane is how big it is, usually measured by the size of the area that has gale for winds or stronger winds, called the gale diameter. The strength of a hurricane is independent of size and is usually measured in terms of maximum sustained wind speed.
What is wind speed and what does it have to be with hurricane?
Wind speed is the speed that wind moves at. It relates to hurricanes in that a tropical storm does not become a hurricane until sustained winds reach 74 miles per hour or faster.
