Hurricanes are categorized based on their wind speeds, with a minimal wind speed of 74 mph (119 km/h) needed to be classified as a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. As the wind speeds increase, hurricanes are classified into higher categories (2-5) based on their sustained wind speeds.
