The AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes categorizes hurricanes and tropical storms on a six-point scale. Like the Saffir-Simpson scale, the AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes uses the 1 to 5 rating, but also adds an additional rating of “Less than 1.” The “Less than 1” score provides insight on hurricanes and tropical storms that don’t rise to a Category 1 on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
“Unlike the very limited Saffir-Simpson scale, which accounts only for wind speed, the more comprehensive AccuWeather RealImpact Scale for Hurricanes properly informs people about the real impacts of a storm, so they can utilize the most accurate information to make the best decisions to protect themselves, their families and property from all of the dangers and risks of tropical storms and hurricanes.
“We are proud of our record of providing forecasts and warnings valued for their verified and documented Superior Accuracy™. Of course, the maximum value for warnings is achieved when they are communicated in the clearest and most understandable way, empowering people to make the right decisions to keep their families safe,” said Myers., mobile web and on the AccuWeather Network, currently available to DIRECTV®, DIRECTV® Now, Frontier and Verizon Fios cable subscribers.
