Beaufort Scale | Help

Please see below a beaufort scale for knots, meter per sec and kilometer per hour.

Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale (SSHWS)

This scale is used in different regions to define strengths of a cyclone. A cyclone is called differently by region. The minimum intensity to be defined as a cyclone is 64 knots or 119 km/h of wind.

In the North Atlantic Ocean and Northeast Pacific Ocean its called a hurricane
In the Northwest Pacific Ocean its called a typhoon which can increase to super typhoon
In the Southwest Pacific Ocean its called a severe tropical cyclone
In the North Indian Ocean its called a severe cyclonic storm
In the Southwest Indian Ocean its called a tropical cyclone
