NHC maps of most likely tropical storm-force wind arrival times show that Rafael will reach the Cayman Islands around 2 p.m. local time on Tuesday, make landfall in Cuba as a hurricane by around 8 ...

The National Hurricane Center uses the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale to categorize hurricanes. Hurricanes are assigned Category 1-5 depending on their wind speeds. We break down the ...

Hurricane Rafael appears to have veered to the west after making landfall in Cuba as a Category 3 storm, marking the fifth major hurricane of the year. The hurricane had wind speeds of 115 mph ...

The 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac Hurricane (six 1933 on the U.S. landfall map) is very similar to Hurricane Isabel in 2003, making landfall on the Outer Banks in North Carolina first before racing ...

Why hurricane wind speeds don't tell the full story Tropical systems begin as tropical depressions, which are areas of low pressure with wind speeds of up to 38 miles per hour.

Climate change increased the maximum wind speeds of every Atlantic hurricane that formed this year, scientists have found. All 11 storms intensified between 9 and 28 miles per hour under the ...

The colors on the wind speed map represent the liklihood that the area will see winds of 39mph or stronger, with green being less likely and purple being most likely.
