Yes, a plane can fly and land in gale force winds of 68 kph (approximately 42 mph), but it depends on several factors, including the type of aircraft, its size, and the direction of the wind relative to the runway. Commercial airliners are designed to handle strong winds, but pilots must assess conditions carefully and may choose to delay landing or divert if the winds exceed safe operating limits. Ultimately, safety is the priority, and decisions are made based on the specific circumstances at the time.
Gale force winds blew the tree down. A gale of laughter filled the room.
They were caught in the swirling gale.The gale force winds tore through the houses.
This is a rating of winds on the Beaufort scale, which is described on wikipedia. Force 9 winds are considered a 'strong gale' and result in waves 23-32 feet high.
Yes. This is not uncommon in tropical cyclones.
Gale, aside from being a woman"s name,. is a catch all term for violent or forcible Maritime storms. Gale force winds- 35 knots and up- it varies ( Cyclonic used to be 65 Knots- nautical miles per hour here- and Upwards!) always with a nautical bent- cold Gales at Atlantic city- but not inland. Gale really refers to the strength of the wind and not any, essentially, precipitation, unlike squalls, water-spouts, etc.
No, a gale is force 8 on the Beaufort Scale which is defined as winds 39 - 46mph and therefore can occur anywhere on earth.
The size of a hurricane is based on the diameter over which it produces gale force winds.
Winds between 28 knots and 55 knots on the Beaufort scale are known as gale force winds.
Not in hurricane form. However - we DID experience gale-force winds, as the remnants of Mitch crossed the Atlantic.
Full Force Gale was created in 1979.
The size of a tropical cyclone is measure by the diameter of gale force winds. The largest tropical cyclone ever recorded, Typhoon Tip, had a gale diameter of 1350 miles (2170 km).
Like all large bodies of water, the Atlantic Ocean can be extremely stormy, with gale force winds causing huge waves.
