A Category 5 hurricane is defined as having sustained windspeeds of at least 157 mph (253 km/h) over a one-minute period 10 m (32 ft 10 in) above the ground. [5] [6] As a tropical cyclone is moving, its wind field is asymmetric. In the northern hemisphere, the strongest winds are on the right side of the storm (relative to the direction of motion).
