How do you read a wind barb on a hurricane map?
The main stem of a wind barb points in the direction that the wind is blowing from. The barbs show the wind speed to the nearest 5 knots. A half barb indicates 5 knots, a full barb indicates 10 knots, and a flag indicates 50 knots. To get the wind speed you add the numbers presented by the barbs. So, for example, if you have a full barb, and a half barb you ad 10+5 to get 15 knots. If you have a flag, 2 full barbs, and a half barb, you add 50+10+10+5 and get 75 knots. To convert to miles per hour multiply the wind speed in knots by 1.15. Wind speeds in mph are usually rounded to the nearest 5 mph as well. So 75 knots would be about 85 mph.These barbs can be found on many weather maps, not just hurricane maps.
If the temperature is -15 degrees F and the wind speed is 20 mph what is the wind chill?

What is the wind chill of 20 miles per hour and 5 degrees Fahrenheit?
The wind chill is -15 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is wind direction a part of weather?
Yes, wind direction is an essential part of weather. It refers to the direction from which the wind is coming, such as north, south, east, or west. Wind direction plays a vital role in determining weather patterns, as it influences temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions. Weather forecasts often include information about wind direction to provide a comprehensive understanding of the weather conditions in a particular area.

What are the readings for a windsock?
A windsock provides both wind direction and windspeed. So long as you have at least 3 knots of wind the sock will provide wind direction +/- 5 degrees. When wind speed is at least 15 knots (17 mph) the sock will be fully erect (no sagging). Windsocks are designed per the FAA to withstand up to 75 knot winds.
How do you find time en route from Addison (area 2) to Redbird (area 3). The wind is from 300 at 15 knots the true airspeed is 120 knots and the magnetic variation is 7 east.?
8 minutes.(Refer to figure 26.)
How much is 15 knots?

How many knots is 15hp?
Doesn't work like that. 15 hp is the power of the motor, but the speed you get from 15 hp would depend on how hard it is to push the boat through the water. 15 hp on a canoe would be scary fast while 15 hp on a barge won't do a thing.
