Wind Warnings

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) issues wind warnings with marine forecasts.

Wind warnings tell mariners of dangerous coastal and ocean conditions.

Wind warnings come in different categories.

Small boats shouldn’t be out in exposed waters in over 25 knots of wind.

Strong Wind Warning:

26 to 33 knots

Gale Warning:

34 to 47 knots

Storm force wind warning:

48 to 63 knots

Hurrican force wind warning:

64 knots or more

But what do the different categories look like?

Good question. Wind warnings use the Beaufort Scale.
