Storm

Beaufort Scale – Force 10 (Storm Force 10)

A storm is a weather phenomenon characterised by strong winds, reaching at least 48 knots (55 miles per hour or 88 kilometres per hour). Storms can also bring heavy rain, rough seas, and turbulent weather conditions. In maritime forecasts, storms are often categorised based on wind speed and severity, with terms such as gale, storm, and hurricane (part of the Beaufort Scale), used to describe different intensity levels.
