Fifteen knots of wind would feel like a gentle breeze that can be felt on the skin and might cause leaves and branches to move slightly. It would not be strong enough to significantly impact walking or activities.
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).
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.
The temperature we feel in cold weather, often referred to as the "wind chill," is significantly lower than the actual air temperature due to the cooling effect of the wind. Wind increases the rate of heat loss from our bodies, making it feel colder than it truly is. For example, when the wind is strong, it can make a temperature of 30°F feel like 15°F or lower. This effect underscores the importance of dressing appropriately in cold, windy conditions to prevent hypothermia and frostbite.
A comfortable wind speed for humans is typically around 5-15 mph. Winds below this range may feel calm and pleasant, while winds above 15 mph can start to feel breezy and possibly uncomfortable, depending on the temperature and other factors.
The wind chill at -15 degrees F and 20 mph wind speed would be around -38 degrees F. Wind chill is the temperature it "feels like" on exposed skin due to the combination of cold temperatures and wind speeds.
12-14
15 knots for student jumpers, 20 knots for professionals
10-15 knots in a good gust of wind
The wind chill at 5 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind speed of 20 MPH would feel like -15 degrees Fahrenheit. Wind chill factors in how the wind speed affects the rate of heat loss from exposed skin, making it feel colder than the actual temperature.

A windsock provides both wind direction and windspeed. So long as you have at least 3 knots of wind the sock will provide wind direction +/- 5 degrees. When wind speed is at least 15 knots (17 mph) the sock will be fully erect (no sagging). Windsocks are designed per the FAA to withstand up to 75 knot winds.
Doesn't work like that. 15 hp is the power of the motor, but the speed you get from 15 hp would depend on how hard it is to push the boat through the water. 15 hp on a canoe would be scary fast while 15 hp on a barge won't do a thing.
15 knots = 15 nautical miles per hour, so 1/3 hour or 20 minutes
A fully extended standard windsock, per FAA standards, means the wind is at least 15 knots or 17 MPH.
