Does anyone know how I can check out what the wind speed and rainfall was in our area last night for insurance claim?

What surface wind speed will your original Quik cope with in terms of ground handling / taxiing / for taking off into (assuming that wind is mostly coming straight down the runway). Or put another way ... what ground wind speed would you need to see on...

In the quantum
10 m.p.h.
As a good indicator

I always look at the gusts more than the wind speed.
It isn't really the wind speed but the direction and gust factors that need to be watched.

Wind Speed, Shutter Speed, And Foliage Is there some kind of general rule of what shutter speed to use in order to freeze motion when shooting foliage in a breeze/wind? I'm never really sure what speed I need to freeze motion even in a slight breeze.

The thing is, not all the branches/leaves/foliage will be moving the same speed; thick branches....
To be sure all of shutter speed, 1/500.
The higher the wind speed, the faster the shutter speed needs to be to stop motion.

Hi -
I am trying to plot wind barbs/vectors from a grib/netCDF-coded field of wind direction/speed, with the barbs/vectors coloured by the wind speed. I am using the method Grids > One value cloured by another. However, this finishes in error message...

It works fine for "ordinary" NWP atmospheric wind fields.
Then you can use flow are correct.
wind speed at 10m" and "wind direction at 10m" to SPEED and DIR, respectively.

While back the above chart was published by KELTY, it's quite interesting!

It's taught me exactly what you state: that people definitely overestimate wind speed.
But I am sure it felt that strong.

We get a bit paranoid about wind direction and speed when first taking a new, unfamiliar aircraft Thruster eh? I think we get a bit paranoid about wind direction and speed when first taking a new.

Hello!
As part of a project related to dam overtopping induced by wind (wave run-up and wave set-up), I am looking for information on how to calculate fetch lenghts for a reservoir.
I would appreciate any information about it.
Thanks!

A big advantage (with the 280) over the 500, the higher air speed gives.
Flying dual, but fine solo.

Ok, guys, I got a gust at my house of 40.7 mph, max continuous of 27 for todays wind, anyone got other readings ?
I'm mid state, bet the northwest has me beat! Anyone got a reading in the northwest ?

As all pilots should know, it is important to know both your pressure altitude and density altitude.

Tim- I also have believed that a 20 mph wind at 100 degrees has less force than a 20 mph wind at 0 speed at the same pressure with the lower temperature has 21.6% more kinetic energy.
