What does very strong wind look like?

Very strong winds refer to winds with an average wind speed of 20 m/s or more and less than 30 m/s. The speed is approximately 70km to 110km per hour, which is about the same speed as a car on a highway. This is the kind of wind where you have to hold on to something to stand up, making it difficult for your car to drive at normal speeds. When such winds blow, roof tiles and signboards may fall or be blown away. (In addition, the instantaneous wind speed is often about 1.5 times the average wind speed, and sometimes more than 3 times the average wind speed.)

There is a risk of injury from flying objects, so caution is required when performing outdoor activities. If very strong winds are expected, keep flower pots and other objects that can be easily blown away indoors.
