There is not upper limit for winds on the Saffir-Simpsons Scale.

The highest winds listed are the minimum winds for a category 5 hurricane: 156 mph. But winds much higher have been recorded.

Is there a way to measure a tornado?

Yes. The intensity of a tornado is estimated on the Enhanced Fujita scale. On this scale, engineers and meteorologists analyze damage and estimate the wind speed. The highest wind speed estimate is then used to assign a rating, ranging from EF0 for the weakest tornadoes to EF5 for the strongest.

What is the highest wind speed for f1 tornado?

On the original Fujita scale the top wind es for an F1 tornado were set at 112 mph. Winds estimates on the more accurate Enhanced Fujita scale were adjusted for all categories, but the upper bound for anEF1 tornado was shifted only slightly to 110 mph.


What scale relates to wind speed during a hurricane?
