"But I feel I need to be remind people that such small-scale forecasts are noisy and can't be evaluated simply on a "believe all the details" basis." Jack

Conversion factors		Enter known speed on right. Click convert.
10 mph →	8.7knots →	16 kph →	4.5 mps
10knots →	11.5 mph →	18.5 kph →	5.14 mps
10 kph →	6.2 mph →	5.4knots →	2.78 mps
1 Meters/second (mps) → 197 feet/minute (fpm)
10 Meters/second (mps) → 36kph → 22.8mph

Note: Beaufort cannot be entered because it would result in a range of numbers.
Note to P2 and Novice Pilots: Guidelines say to not fly in windspeeds over 15mph:
A Moderate Breeze: Small branches sway, numerous whitecaps. A 4 on the Beaufort scale.
