253 mph ; The world's worst weather has been challenged by Australian Tropical Cyclone Olivia. Mount Washington's record wind speed of 231 mph, set in 1934, was blown away at 253 mph in 1996 on Barrow Island in Australia. The 62 year old record will be difficult to part with for the weather station, considering it took 14 years for the announcement to be made.
210 mph
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on earth was 302 mph. It was measured in an F5 tornado in the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999.
the fastest winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph in Hurricane Camille.
the wind speed was very fast to fast for scientists
Ceres, which is not truly a planet, has no atmosphere and therefore no wind.
210 mph
The fastest wind speed ever recorded anywhere was 302 mph (486 km/h) in an F5 tornado as it tore through Bridge Creek, Oklahoma on May 3, 1999. The measurement was obtained with Doppler radar, so it technically was not a direct measurement. The fastest directly recorded wind speed was a gust to 253 mph (408 km/h) recorded on Barrow Island, Australia on April 10, 1996.

253 MPH on Barrow Island, Australia. It was during the passage of tropical cyclone Olivia on April 10, 1996.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded outside a tornado was a gust to 253 mph in Cyclone Olivia as it struck Barrow Island off the coast of Australia on April 10, 1996.
the fastest winds recorded in a hurricane were 190 mph in Hurricane Camille.
The fastest wind on earth occur in tornadoes, which have been known to have wind speeds in excess of 300 mph (480 km/h), far faster than anything a hurricane can produce.
What is the average wind speed of the Tundra?
North America does not have record of their highest wind speed available to the public. However, the highest wind speed ever recorded anywhere was during Tropical Storm Olivia in Australia. Top speeds reached 203 miles per hour.
The world record for fastest surface wind speed ever recorded is 253 mph. It was "accurately measured with an anemometer" on Australia's Barrow Island during cyclone Olivia, and being accurately measured makes the "official world record". The unofficial record is 318 mph. This was measured using Doppler radar during an F5 tornado in Oklahoma. It's unofficial because Doppler radar is a less accurate way to measure wind speed than with an anemometer.
No. The fastest speed a tornado has peen known to travel is 73 mph, about 1/10 the speed of sound. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph, still less than half the speed of sound.
On May 03, 1999, a series of tornadoes hit the suburbs of Oklahoma City. Now, this is not that unusual for Oklahoma except that one of the tornadoes resulted in a recorded wind speed of 318 MPH or 509 KM/H, the world's fastest tornado ever recorded.
