I like the scale(BROWN),,,,,, had 24 hours of rain 40mm plus, at a guess and this Gust apparently,...... now im confused ,,, isnt kmph more that knots![]()
65 knots thats 130kmph.................Melt down
for every 5 knots 10kmph![]()
is that whats being said?
1 KNOT = _______KMPH
That is a cyclonic gust I'm thinking just a fault. I got 68 knots in cyclone Yasi aboard my yacht and Yasi destroyed many items in Qld.
Yeah but no but yeah but.....cause the world is round and the hours get shorter you can't use kmph at sea so it is just a base unit KM virsus a true actual nautical mile NM in minutes of latitude per hour! Haha
Yes, it seems like there is a scaling problem with the graphs. If the wind went to 70 knots, the scaling for the km/h should have been much more than 53 km/h ![]()
It's broken.
Agreed the scaling is incorrect.
To be a true geek... 1nm is the distance you will cover if you traverse 1 minute of longitude at the equator.
There is a great book called longditude. It's about john Harrison, the bloke who invented the first clock/watch that maintained its accuracy at sea well enough to enable sailors to measure longditude and determine their location. Well worth the read.
