Mine would do 110 km/h on pavement if there was no wind. It also reaches this speed in about 12-14 seconds.

The winds in a cyclone / hurricane / typhoon can go at up to 300 km per hour (about 200 mph). It is very rare to have one near this strength.

The cyclone also moves across the sea and land, typically at about 10 - 30 km per hour (6 - 20 mph). So a storm centered over Puerto Rico today can be expected to be about 144 to 480 miles away from there 24 hours later.

The term "cyclones" is the generic term covering cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons. For the purpose of this question, the following answer refers to cyclones, the phenomenon restricted to the Southern Hemisphere and usually found in Australian waters.

Cyclones vary in speed, and so are classified into categories according to their wind speed.

  • Category 1 cyclones have wind gusts reaching less than 125 kilometres per hour.
  • Category 2 have wind gusts between 125-170km/h.
  • Category 3 cyclones have wind gust measuring between 170-225km/h.
  • Category 4 have wind gusts between 225-280km/h.
  • Category 5 cyclones have wind gusts exceeding 280km/h.

Cyclones generally do not have a rapid forward speed. Most of the time, the progression of a cyclone or hurricane is about 20 to 25 miles per hour.
