How much colder it feels, the computer can calculate for us.<br> <br> For this we must know, what the force of the wind is. We determine this force with a wind-gauge (anemometer).<br> <br> We can also make an estimate of the wind-force with the following list for the Beaufort scale of winds.<br> <br> -------------------------------------------<br> <strong>Click with the mouse for the <a href="wind012.htm">next page >></a></strong></p> <hr> <strong> <p>Back to <a href="F-weer.htm" target="_parent">Wind and clouds - Menu</a></strong></p> <p><font size="2">© Copyright <a href="http://www.nentjes.info" target="_top">John N's Web</a>.
