We can simply say that wind blowing at a certain speed is called breeze. Breeze is a very light wind which we can just feel, while wind blows harder and we can even hear it. Wind and breeze are two sides of the same coin. When it’s soothing we call it breeze and when harsh it is generally referred as wind.

Types of Wind

• Planetary winds.
• Trade winds.
• The westerlies.
• Periodic winds. Monsoon winds. Land breeze. Sea breeze. Mountain and valley breeze.
• Local winds.

1a : a natural movement of air of any velocity especially : the earth’s air or the gas surrounding a planet in natural motion horizontally. b : an artificially produced movement of air. c : solar wind, stellar wind.

1 – Light air, winds of 1-2 mph. 3 – Gentle breeze, 8-12 mph. Twigs and small branches will move. 4 – Moderate breeze, 13-18 mph.

Wind chill values will be in the 20s to 30s throughout the day. – at 19 to 24 mph, smaller trees begin to sway. – at 25 to 31 mph, large branches will be in motion, whistling will be heard in overhead wires, and umbrella use becomes difficult if not impossible. – at 32 to 38 mph, whole trees will be in motion.

“High wind” with sustained speeds of 40 to 57 mph. Wind conditions consistent with a high wind warning. “A Moderate Threat to Life and Property from High Wind.” “Very windy” with sustained speeds of 26 to 39 mph, or frequent wind gusts of 35 to 57 mph.

Most thunderstorm winds that cause damage at the ground are a result of outflow generated by a thunderstorm downdraft. Damaging winds are classified as those exceeding 50-60 mph. Wind speeds can reach up to 100 mph and can produce a damage path extending for hundreds of miles.

A Wind Advisory means that sustained winds of 30 mph for one hour and/or frequent gusts of at least 45 mph are occurring or expected within the next 36 hours. These winds will make it difficult to drive high profile vehicles. Winds this strong may damage trees, power lines and small structures.

Walking in a 30 mph wind can be tricky, at 40 mph you could be blown off balance and at 60 mph it is almost impossible to walk. The wind speed given by the BBC or local radio station will be at sea level. At 900m above sea level the wind could be blowing about three times stronger than at sea level.

20-30 is kind of strong breeze and a bit more. 50-60 is hard to hear in but still possible to walk into. You may find yourself leaning into it. It is tiring to walk into and of course excellent to walk behind.

Beaufort Wind Scale

0 — Calm	less than 1 mph (0 m/s)	Smoke rises vertically
10 — Whole gale	55 – 63 mph 24-27.5 m/s	Trees uprooted, considerable damage to buildings
11 — Storm	64 – 73 mph 28-31.5 m/s	Widespread damage, very rare occurrence
12 — Hurricane	over 73 mph over 32 m/s	Violent destruction

Attempting to walk in 60-70mph winds is dangerous, and there is a high risk of being blown over and suffering injury. Stay away from difficult underfoot conditions or exposed edges and get off the hill as soon as possible.

A High Wind Warning is issued when sustained winds of 40 mph or higher or gusts of wind 58 mph or higher are expected. These conditions will make driving very difficult. All drivers should refrain from driving, especially those with larger vehicles.

I personally think that much over 15 mph will feel like a strong wind and will strongly affect driving. You certainly can travel in that much wind and I’ve done so, as much as 25 mph, but it is tiring and slow going. Better to stay off the road unless you really need to make the trip.

25-50 mph – At this point, you may see shingles begin to be blown off. Especially on aging or damaged roofs. But for the most part, you’re still safe with wind speeds this low. 50-75 mph – At 50+ MPH winds are officially classified as “damaging”.

Wind Can Cause Damage to Your Home When high winds hit a roof, shingles can loosen or fall off. If wind speeds are very high, even new, secure shingles can tear away. Other wind damage to a roof includes damage caused by falling objects and debris such as tree branches and downed powerlines.

Potential signs of wind damage: Thin horizontal lines where granules have been worn off about 1-2 inches beneath the shingle above; this could indicate that the shingle seal was broken and the shingle was flapping in the wind rubbing against the shingle above it.

In terms of general damage, in the United States, we consider 50 knots (58 mph, 93 km/h) to be the speed where the likelihood of notable damage is high enough. Damage can occur to some very vulnerable objects (things like tarps and tents (and umbrellas!) can way well before that) at lower speeds.
