What is the exact conversion from miles per hour to knots per hour?

Windspeed in MPH Description Visible Condition
0 Calm Smoke rises vertically
1 - 4 Light Air Direction of wind shown by smoke but not by wind vanes
4 - 7 Light Breeze Wind felt on face; leaves rustle; ordinary wind vane moved by wind
8 - 12 Gentle Breeze Leaves and small twigs in constant motion; wind extends light flag
13 - 18 Moderate Breeze Raises dust and loose paper; small branches are moved
19 - 24 Fresh Breeze Small trees in leaf begin to sway; crested wavelets form on inland water
25 - 31 Strong Breeze Large branches in motion; telephone wires whistle; umbrellas used with difficulty
32 - 38 Moderate Gale Whole trees in motion; inconvenience in walking against wind
39 - 46 Fresh Gale Breaks twigs off trees; generally impedes progress
47 - 54 Strong Gale Slight structural damage occurs; chimney pots and slates removed
55 - 63 Whole Gale Trees uprooted; considerable structural damage occurs

In response to your question, for converting mph into knots, devide 1.15 by your speed, say 20 mph., to give you 17.40 KTs.

To get knots into mph, simply multiply your speed, say 17.40 kt by 1.15 to get roughly, 20.01 mph.
