Convert wind speed between m/s, km/h, mph, knots, and Beaufort scale.
Enter wind speed and select unit, then click Convert.
Wind speed is the rate at which air moves across the Earth's surface. It is measured using various units: meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), and knots (nautical miles per hour). The Beaufort scale, developed in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort, classifies wind intensity from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane) based on observed effects on the environment. The conversion between units uses standard factors: 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h = 2.23694 mph = 1.94384 knots. This calculator provides instant conversions between all major wind speed units and the Beaufort scale. Understanding wind speed is essential for weather forecasting, aviation, maritime navigation, wind energy assessment, and outdoor activities. The Beaufort scale description helps users understand the real-world impact of different wind speeds.
- Enter the Wind Speed Value in the input field.
- Select the Input Unit from the dropdown (m/s, km/h, mph, knots, or Beaufort).
- Click Convert Speed to see all converted values.
- The result shows speed in m/s, km/h, mph, knots, and Beaufort scale.
- Beaufort descriptions help interpret the wind’s real-world effects.
