D. Sea Area Forecast

We can also measure wind strength:

Force 8 = very strong wind (a gale)
Force 2 = light wind ………………….. .

A sea area forecast tells us what the wind is going to be like. We learn about the direction and the
wind force.
Example : Wind: easterly, force 8
……………….. Wind: southerly, force 2
