Wind Scale Converter

m/s
Beaufort force6 forceStrong breeze

Land conditions: Large branches sway, umbrellas hard to hold

Conversion reference: 38.9 km/h · 21.0 kn · 24.2 mph

How it works

  1. 1Classify speed by GB/T 28591 force bands (0-12)
  2. 2Forces 13-17 added per CMA typhoon service regulation
  3. 3Output force, name and conditions
Per GB/T 28591-2012 and CMA Typhoon Service Regulation (2001): speed is the 10-minute mean at 10 m over open terrain. Forces 0-12 follow the Beaufort scale; 13-17 are typhoon extensions. Above 61.2 m/s is informally "beyond force 17". Gusts are not covered.
