A hurricane's category is decided based on wind speed. Each category has its own wind speed range.
The National Hurricane Center decided the category of a hurricane based on how fast it sustained winds are. Here is the list.
Category 1: 74-95 mph
Category 2: 96-110 mph
Category 3: 111-130 mph
Category 4: 131-155 mph
