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.

Oh yes they can.
W60 = 60 m/s wind speed = 216 km/hr
The fastest wind speed recorded in Newfoundland was 180 km/h (112 mph) during a hurricane in September 2010.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was 253 mph (408 km/h) during Tropical Cyclone Olivia in 1996 at Barrow Island, Australia.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded in a hurricane was about 190 mph (305 km/h) in Hurricane Patricia in 2015.
My family has not experienced any hurricanes, and therefore no one has achieved a fastest wind speed related to hurricanes.
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.
The fastest wind speed ever recorded on Earth was 253 miles per hour (408 km/h) during Severe Tropical Cyclone Olivia in 1996, near Barrow Island, Australia. This intense wind speed was measured by an unmanned weather station before the equipment was destroyed.
What is the average wind speed of the Tundra?
The fastest recorded surface wind speed on Earth was 253 mph (408 km/h) during Tropical Cyclone Olivia in 1996 near Barrow Island, Australia.
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.
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.
Neptune has serious weather, far more dangerous than the second fastest wind storm known in the solar system, Jupiter, recorded as a wind speed of 374 mph.
The fastest winds recorded in America occurred during tornadoes and hurricanes. The fastest wind speed ever recorded in the United States was during a tornado in Moore, Oklahoma, with speeds reaching 302 mph (484 km/h) in 1999. In terms of hurricanes, Hurricane Patricia in 2015 had the highest wind speed recorded in the Western Hemisphere at 215 mph (346 km/h).
