Kilometers per hour to Beaufort force Converter

Convert kilometers per hour (km/h) to Beaufort force (Bft) with the formula and table below.

Quick answer

  • Formula: v = 0.836 × B^1.5 m/s (WMO), where B is the Beaufort number.
  • Example: 1 km/h = 0.47972698 Bft

0.5 kilometers per hour = 0.3022090628 Beaufort force

How to convert kilometers per hour to Beaufort force

v = 0.836 × B^1.5 m/s (WMO), where B is the Beaufort number.

This conversion is not a simple multiplication, so the size of one unit alone does not tell you the answer. Example: 9 km/h = 2.075658111 Bft. For the reverse, see Beaufort force to kilometers per hour.
