Calculation Formula

Wind Speed (km/h) = 400 * sqrt(Pressure - 1013) / sqrt(Latitude)

Where:
Pressure = Barometric Pressure in millibars
Latitude = Latitude in degrees

How to Use the Cyclone Calculator

  1. Enter the barometric pressure in millibars (mb) in the first input field.
  2. Enter the latitude in degrees (°) in the second input field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to get the estimated wind speed in kilometers per hour (km/h).
  4. The formula used for calculation is: Wind Speed (km/h) = 400 * sqrt(Pressure - 1013) / sqrt(Latitude).

Working Principle

The cyclone calculator estimates the wind speed based on the barometric pressure and latitude. Barometric pressure is a key indicator of weather conditions, and latitude affects the Coriolis effect, which influences wind patterns. The formula used is a simplified model that relates these parameters to wind speed.
