How do you read a wind barb on a hurricane map?

The main stem of a wind barb points in the direction that the wind is blowing from. The barbs show the wind speed to the nearest 5 knots. A half barb indicates 5 knots, a full barb indicates 10 knots, and a flag indicates 50 knots. To get the wind speed you add the numbers presented by the barbs. So, for example, if you have a full barb, and a half barb you ad 10+5 to get 15 knots. If you have a flag, 2 full barbs, and a half barb, you add 50+10+10+5 and get 75 knots. To convert to miles per hour multiply the wind speed in knots by 1.15. Wind speeds in mph are usually rounded to the nearest 5 mph as well. So 75 knots would be about 85 mph.These barbs can be found on many weather maps, not just hurricane maps.

How do you determine where the strongest winds are on a weather map?

The barbs are arrows pointing in the direction wind blows from. They have little points (barbs) off the side of them. A full barb represents 10 knots, a half barb represents 5 knots, and a flag represents 50 knots. You add the numbers represented by the number of full and half barbs. Thus 2 full barbs and 1 half barb represents a 25 knot wind. To convert knots to MPH multiply the knots by a factor of 1.15.

Which wind barb represents 150 knots?

In meteorology, a wind barb representing 150 knots would typically include a combination of full barbs and flags. Each full barb represents 10 knots, while each flag (triangular shape) represents 50 knots. Therefore, to depict 150 knots, you would use 15 full barbs or a combination of 3 flags and 0 full barbs, as 3 flags represent 150 knots (3 x 50 knots = 150 knots).
