What is the biggest wind force in the world?

Maximum wind force 17.

Wind speed is the forward speed of the wind. The greater the air pressure difference between two adjacent places, the faster the air flow, the greater the wind speed and the greater the wind force. Therefore, the magnitude of wind is usually expressed by wind power. The unit of wind speed is meters per second or kilometers per hour. When the weather forecast is released, the wind level is mostly used.

Generally speaking, according to various phenomena caused by wind blowing on objects on the ground or water surface, the magnitude of wind power is divided into 18, with the smallest being 0 and the largest being 17.

The highest record of wind speed:

Hurricane John is the third recorded category 5 hurricane in the Central Pacific Ocean, which has set a record for the highest wind speed in this area, reaching 280 km/h. Since 1994, only Hurricane Ou Kai has reached the category 5 hurricane intensity in the Central Pacific Ocean. Like girma, its air pressure is lower than John's, but its wind speed is slower than John's.

When Typhoon Dai Wen transited, its intensity was equivalent to the second-class typhoon in the tropical cyclone classification of the National Hurricane Center. At that time, the average wind force in Victoria Harbour was 1.33 km/h, the highest gust was 259 km/h, and Tate's Cairn also recorded a gust of 284 km/h.

Taipei is the strongest tropical cyclone typhoon ever recorded on earth. At present, the tropical cyclone with the highest wind speed is Typhoon Haiyan in the northwest Pacific Ocean, with an average wind speed of 3 15 km/h.
