Windspeed Measurements

The INT Dome should not be left open if the windspeed exceeds:

22 metres/sec = 80 km/hour = 50 mph

The wind speed measurements and direction indicators on the Meteorological Console are taken from the mast 100 metres to the East of the building. They are reliable except when the instruments are frozen solid.
