  This is a good example of curvature and wind speed .If I could read it correctly . If sixty M/P/H is nearly once around . This is 120 Mph .

  Ian, there are general "rules of thumb" that you can use to estimate wind speed from the cloud picture. That is what this site is doing

  We are working on an updated page. It will tell you your estimated wind speed based on the matching picture you chose.

  Of course there are many details that are hidden to the users. By the way, kt and mph are nearly the same. m/s is about 0.5*kt.

  Hi cch001, thank you for the information . There is that learning curve again 😉 The estimated wind speed would I think make it a lot

  easier for choosing the storm type too and where the storm is picking up or slowing down . To me a very useful tool .Thank you Ian shocko61
