What wind speed constitutes a storm. Same question for a gale. Have asked this before,but missed the answer?
Answers:
near gale =32-38mph or 13.9-17.1m/s
gale =39-46mph or 17.2-20.7m/s
strong gale =47-54mph or 20.8-24.4m/s
m/s = metres per second
Winds up to 70mph consitute a gale.
Winds over that consitute a storm/severe gale.
Look up the Beaufort scale.
