The highest velocity in a gust hitherto recorded upon See also:instruments belonging to the See also:office is io6 5 M. per See also:hour at Pendennis See also:Castle on the 14th of See also:March 1905. See also:Gale force is defined for the purposes of the meteorological office as that of a wind which has an See also:average velocity during an hour of 38 m. per hour. According to See also:Simpson's results at Scilly or See also:Holyhead, where the exposure is See also:good, a wind that just got within the reckoning of See also:gales would reach 44 M. per hour in the See also:ordinary gusts, with occasional records of 51 m. per hour.

Squalls with velocities reaching 55 m. per hour are not uncommon, and the range of wind velocity which constitutes a squall may be anything between 40 m. an hour and upwards of 100 m. an hour. (W. N.
