Understanding Wind Speed and Its Impact

Wind speed tells us how fast air is moving across the surface of the Earth. At 8.9 km/h, the wind is a light breeze—just enough to sway leaves or cool your skin.

Stronger winds can create a wind chill effect, making temperatures feel colder. They also affect activities like sailing, flying, or construction safety. On the positive side, steady winds are essential for wind energy generation which is making a huge contribution in clean energy production.

With Weather Pulse Now, you can track wind conditions to stay safe and make smarter plans, whether it’s a casual walk, outdoor sports, or energy forecasting.
