Detailed explanation-1: -A tornado’s strongest wind speeds occur near the core of the tornado. This is where the area of the lowest atmospheric pressure is bounded by the fastest circulating around the center of the tornado.

Detailed explanation-2: -Discussion. Mobile Doppler radars such as the University of Oklahoma’s Doppler on Wheels have remotely sensed tornado wind speeds above ground level as high as about 302 mph.

Detailed explanation-3: -Well, the strongest winds in a tornado occur when air from outside the tornado can flow closest to the center of the vortex. The conservation of angular momentum, e.g., the rotation in the air, requires that as the air flows toward the center of the tornado (as it spirals in) its rotation must increase.

Detailed explanation-4: -While Jupiter’s winds are typically on the order of 200-400 mph at various altitudes and latitudes, these polar winds can reach  900 mph: the fastest ever seen on the planet.

Detailed explanation-5: -Wind Speed The strongest tornadoes may have winds of more than 207 miles per hour, while the strongest hurricanes have winds of 131 miles per hour or higher.
