Toronto Pearson had wind gusts of 60km/h today.

Edit: listing to the ATC audio I think they said gusts in the 30s (man do they ever speak fast and mumble! Enunciate damn it! Unique New York), which is markedly slower than what the Apple Weather app reported for Pearson.

It was gusting at 33kts.

33kt/hr * 1.15mi/kt * 1.609km/mi ~= 61km/hr.

The weather app was right. Just different units.

Whoops of course! My mistake
Remember that ATC will give wind speeds in knots, not km/h.
Doh! My mistake. Thanks for pointing that out
