The summit of Mt. Washington was once the spot with the highest recorded wind velocity on Earth. That has been surpassed.
The highest wind speed recorded on Mt. Washington, New Hampshire, was an astonishing 231 miles per hour (372 km/h) on April 12, 1934. This record still stands as one of the highest wind gusts ever documented on the surface of the Earth. The mountain is known for its extreme weather conditions, making it a site of interest for meteorologists and thrill-seekers alike.
The highest straight windspeed was recorded at the Meteorological Observatory on Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, at 235 mph. So, as far as has been thus far documented, wind can move at any speed from there down to almost zero.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded anywhere was 302 mph (486 km/h) in an F5 tornado as it tore through Bridge Creek, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999. The measurement was obtained with Doppler radar, so it technically was not a direct measurement. The fastest directly recorded wind speed was a gust to 253 mph (408 km/h) recorded on Barrow Island, Australia on April 10, 1996.

There are five mountains located in the U.S. named Mt. Washington. Two are located in the state of Washington, one is in Oregon, and a fourth is in Nevada. However, the one located in New Hampshire is the location of the highest wind speed ever recorded on the surface of the world.
