The Highest Wind Speed on This Day in History

 

One of the highest recorded speeds for a gust of wind was measured at 207 m.p.h. during a storm at Thule Air Base in Greenland on this day in 1972. 

It was considered the highest speed at the time, but, there was a wind gust of 231 m.p.h. at Mount Washington, New Hampshire in 1934. That record was broken on April 10 1996 in Barrow Island, Australia with a wind gust of 253 m.p.h.
