How fast does the wind blow in antarctica?

Answer 1

because of Antarctica's reverse bowl shaped structure and that the Earth is constantly rotating, these winds form a spiral motion downhill which can reach up to 200 kilometers per hour and create difficult situations for explorers. Such situations could include setting up a tent.

Answer 2

The wind speed in Antarctica can vary greatly, with average speeds ranging from 10 to 20 miles per hour, but can often reach hurricane-force speeds of over 74 miles per hour, especially during winter storms. The region's unique geography and climate conditions contribute to these strong winds.

Answer 3

The katabatic winds that roar off the polar plateau are constant, and can achieve and pass blizzard-speeds in their movement. The fastest wind gusts have been measured at about 200 MPH or 327Km/h. These were measured at Dumond d'Urville station in the winter of 1972.

Answer 4

Because Antarctica is a "polar" region, there is no precipitation, it has no lakes or rivers and is in fact the driest continent. Average temperatures in the Antarctic interior get down to -70 degrees Celsius during the winter months and -35 degrees Celsius in the warmer months. The coastal temperatures are much warmer with a range of -15 to -32 Celsius in Winter and -5 to +5 Celsius in Summer. The interior of Antarctica is considered the world's driest desert because the extreme cold freezes water vapour out of the air. Annual snowfall on the polar plateau is equivalent to less than 5 cm of rain. Antarctica has some of the strongest winds on earth, with some winds reaching 320 kph.

Answer 5

The winds at the South pole travel up to 30 mph on a normal day (not windy)

dunno lol <3;)

Answer 6

The highest wind speeds recorded in Antarctica were at Dumont d'Urville station. They measured 199 mph and occurred in July of 1972.

Answer 7

I'm not to sure on the average wind speed but i know the highest wind speed recorded is 200mph hope this helped

Answer 8

On the very rare day -- maybe one or two per year -- the wind is still.

Answer 9

Well, when the sun is out the wind speed is about 20 mile per hour, but when the sun is not out it is about 40 miles per hour. So I hope that answers your question.

Answer 10

the fastest is 5 metres per second
