Hurricane warning speeds refer to the wind speed thresholds used to classify hurricanes and issue warnings. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale categorizes hurricanes from Category 1 (74-95 mph) to Category 5 (157 mph and above). A hurricane warning is issued when sustained winds of 74 mph or higher are expected within 36 hours. This alert prompts residents in affected areas to take precautions and prepare for potential impacts.
No. A hurricane watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within 48 hours. A hurricane warning means hurricane conditions are expected in the next 36 hours. So a warning indicates a greater danger.
A hurricane warning is more serious than a hurricane watch. A hurricane warning means that hurricane conditions are expected within a specified area, typically within 36 hours. A hurricane watch, on the other hand, means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area, usually within 48 hours.
As a category 3 hurricane, Sandy produced wind speeds of 115 mph in eastern Cuba.
Hurricane Rita had peak sustained winds of 180 mph.
Ratings on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale are based on the maximum sustained wind speeds of a hurricane.
