Category 1 wind speeds are 74-95 mph.
A Category 1 Hurricane has 980 Millibars or greater, however, to be a C1 Hurricane, its Wind Speed has to be 75-95 MPH.
The main difference between a Category 2 and a Category 4 hurricane is the wind speed. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of 96-110 mph, while a Category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130-156 mph. Category 4 hurricanes are more intense and can cause more damage compared to a Category 2 hurricane.
There is no such thing as a category 7 hurricane, the strongest is 5.
The maximum wind speed of a category 2 hurricane is 110 mph.
A hurricane with 120 mph winds would be classified as a Category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Category 3 hurricanes are considered major hurricanes and have the potential to cause extensive damage.
The wind speed is 74-95 mph in a category one hurricane.
The category of the hurricane is decided by the speed of the wind and the damage.
A Category 1 Hurricane has 980 Millibars or greater, however, to be a C1 Hurricane, its Wind Speed has to be 75-95 MPH.
Wind Speed.
The "stage" of the hurricane is it's intensity in size and wind speed. Category One is just a nasty tropical storm with an attitude. Category Five is a horrifically devastating monster hurricane.
The main difference between a Category 2 and a Category 4 hurricane is the wind speed. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of 96-110 mph, while a Category 4 hurricane has sustained winds of 130-156 mph. Category 4 hurricanes are more intense and can cause more damage compared to a Category 2 hurricane.
