Please note that these are these are mean speeds, usually averaged over 10 minutes by convention, and do not capture the speed of wind gusts. Raises dust and loose paper; small branches moved. Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland waters.
What is the full name of the Beaufort scale?
Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale . Below is a table showing the Beaufort Scale with speeds in knots, miles per hour and kilometers per hour. Please note that these are these are mean speeds, usually averaged over 10 minutes by convention, and do not capture the speed of wind gusts. Raises dust and loose paper; small branches moved.
