0The phrase "up to 96 km/hr" means that they wind gusts were sometimes as high as 96, and sometimes lower. "Up to x" means any number no higher than x.02br

00This sentence just means "There have been wind gusts as high as 96 km/hr." A gust, by the way, means a particularly strong bit of wind, as opposed to sustained winds, which continue at the same level.0-
