What is gale force 10?

Answer 1

Gale force 10 is a classification on the Beaufort scale, which measures wind speeds. It corresponds to wind speeds of 48 to 55 knots (55 to 63 miles per hour or 89 to 102 kilometers per hour). At this level, conditions are very rough, with considerable damage likely to structures, trees, and vessels at sea, as well as considerable difficulty for anyone outdoors. It is characterized by large waves and widespread debris.
