What do the wind-arrows mean?
The bars on the arrows tell you how strong the wind is:
= One half bar, 4 mph
= One full bar, 11 mph
= Triangle, 56 mph
When more than one bar or trinagle appear you calculate the sum of the respective values:
= 71 mph
Wind strength on land:
| Symbol | mph | General term | Effect of the wind |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
0.0-0.9 | Calm | Smoke raises vertically, leaves are motionless |
|
1-3 | Light air | Wind motion visible in smoke |
|
4-7 | Light breeze | Wind felt on exposed skin, leaves rustle |
|
8-12 | Gentle breeze | Leaves and smaller branches in constant motion |
 |
13-17 | Moderate breeze | Dust and paper raised, small branches begin to move |
 |
18-24 | Fresh breeze | Branches of a moderate size move, small trees begin to sway |
 |
25-30 | Strong wind | Large branches move, whistling heard in overhead wires, umbrella use becomes difficult, empty rubbish bins tip over |
 |
31-38 | High wind | Whole trees in motion, effort needed to walk against the wind |
 |
39-46 | Gale | Small branches broken off trees, cars veer on road, progress on foot is seriously impeded |
 |
47-54 | Strong gale | Some branches break off trees, and some small trees blow over |
|
55-63 | Storm | Trees fall over or uprooted, saplings bent and deformed. |
 |
64-72 | Violent storm | Widespread damage to vegetation. Many roofing surfaces are damaged |
 |
73- | Hurricane | Very widespread damage to vegetation. Some windows may break, mobile homes and poorly constructed sheds and barns are damaged. Debris may be hurled about. |
Wind strength at sea:
| Symbol | mph | Knots | General term | Effect of the wind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
0.0-0.9 | 0-1 | Calm | Flat |
|
1-3 | 1-3 | Light air | Ripples without crests |
|
4-7 | 4-6 | Light breeze | Small wavelets. Crests of glassy appearance, not breaking |
|
8-12 | 7-10 | Gentle breeze | Large wavelets. Crests begin to break; scattered whitecaps |
|
13-17 | 11-16 | Moderate breeze | Small waves with breaking crests. Fairly frequent white horses |
|
18-24 | 17-21 | Fresh breeze | Moderate waves of some length. Many white horses. Small amounts of spray |
|
25-30 | 22-27 | Strong breeze | Long waves begin to form. White foam crests are very frequent. Some airborne spray is present |
|
31-38 | 28-33 | High wind | Sea heaps up. Some foam from breaking waves is blown into streaks along wind direction. Moderate amounts of airborne spray. |
|
39-46 | 34-40 | Gale | Moderately high waves with breaking crests forming spindrift. Well-marked streaks of foam are blown along wind direction. Considerable airborne spray. |
|
47-54 | 41-47 | Strong gale | High waves whose crests sometimes roll over. Dense foam is blown along wind direction. Large amounts of airborne spray may begin to reduce visibility. |
|
55-63 | 48-55 | Storm | Very high waves with overhanging crests. Large patches of foam from wave crests give the sea a white appearance. Considerable tumbling of waves with heavy impact. Large amounts of airborne spray reduce visibility. |
|
64-72 | 56-63 | Violent storm | Exceptionally high waves. Very large patches of foam, driven before the wind, cover much of the sea surface. Very large amounts of airborne spray severely reduce visibility. |
|
73- | 64- | Hurricane | Huge waves. Sea is completely white with foam and spray. Air is filled with driving spray, greatly reducing visibility. |

How many cm of snow is 1 mm water / precipitation?
One mm of water will give roughly 1 cm of snow. The amount of snow depends of how dense, cold and dry the snow is.
If it snows in colder temperatures than 5-10 degrees below freezing, one mm of water can sometimes give more than 2 cm of snow, while wet and heavy snow around freezing will give a thinner layer of snow.
