Maximum Wind Speed - Florida Climate Center

This table expresses both a maximum wind speed (SP) for the stations and, where available, the direction (DR), referenced to true North, from which it blew. If the direction is expressed as one of the 16 compass points (N, NNE, NE, etc.) the maximum speed is calculated from the minimum time during which one mile of wind passed the station. If the direction is expressed numerically, the maximum speed is the highest one minute average value recorded by the observer. Direction is given in tens of degrees clockwise from true North. Data through 2020; periods of record vary.

Normals were provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, NC.
