89 meters per second or 198.8 mph according to other data on Wiki

Another Answer

According to the Google search result for this query:

"The highest wind speeds recorded in Antarctica were at Dumont d'Urville station in July 1972: 327km/h (199 mph),"
The average wind speed in Antarctica is 67 kilometres per hour; the maximum wind speed is 320 kilometres per hour (198.8 miles per hour).

Answer 3

Based on this, Antarctica would average around 40km/h.

Answer 4

Winds in Antarctica in a blizzard can get to 240 kilometres per hour.

Answer 5

Winds can speed up to 200 km/h which will obviously blow you over. But Antarctica doesn't really have much weather. So winds, blizzards and storms don't really happen often.

Answer 6

Wind speed in Antarctica vary as they do anywhere else on Earth. You get windy days and still days.
