Which consequence develops because of the Saffir-Simpson scale wind rounding effect?

💡 Explanation

Rounding speeds to increments causes error; Wind speeds get rounded up and consequently, intensity categories get exaggerated via extrapolation using the Saffir-Simpson scale because hurricane category assessment relies heavily on estimated wind speed rather than verified direct measurements, therefore exaggerating the category, rather than providing a better assessment.
