Windspeed conversions
The Icelandic Meteorological Office uses the SI (Systeme Internationale d´Unites) unit metres per second (m/s) in windspeed measurements. Here you can convert between different units of windspeed. Type a number into a textbox below and then click outside it. Please note that Beaufort-values are between 0 and 12.
