{"id":35149,"count":1,"description":"A gale is a very strong wind. There are conflicting definitions of how strong a wind must be to be considered a gale. The U.S. government's National Weather Service defines a gale as 34\u201347 knots (63\u201387 km\/h, 17.5\u201324.2 m\/s or 39\u201354 miles\/hour) of sustained surface winds. Forecasters typically issue gale warnings when winds of this strength are expected.\nOther sources use minimums as low as 28 knots (52\u00a0km\/h) and maximums as high as 90 knots (170\u00a0km\/h). Through 1986, the National Hurricane Center used the term gale to refer to winds of tropical force for coastal areas, between 33 knots (61\u00a0km\/h) and 63 knots (117\u00a0km\/h). The 90-knot (170\u00a0km\/h) definition is very non-standard. A common alternative definition of the maximum is 55 knots (102\u00a0km\/h).\nThe most common way of measuring winds is with the Beaufort scale (pronounced \/\u02c8bo\u028af\u0259rt\/; see article for more on the traditional nautical use of the word \"gale\"). It is an empirical measure for describing wind speed based mainly on observed sea...","link":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/tag\/gale\/","name":"Gale","slug":"gale","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/35149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/post_tag"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.skateboarding-lessons.com\/go\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?tags=35149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
