How to Convert Wind Speed From CM to MPH

The speed of wind can be anything from a stagnant crawl to a breezy sprint. Because of its different possible speeds, wind speed can be measured by centimeters over certain periods of time, whether it be seconds, minutes or hours. Converting wind speed from centimeters over different time periods to miles per hour can help in understanding differently gauged wind speeds.
