   Hi @adgelt, thanks for your question.

   You can simply apply a factor of 3.6 to the intensity data and change the appropriate unit label within the hazard object:

   from copy import deepcopy
   
   hazard_in_kmh = deepcopy(hazard)
   hazard_in_kmh.intensity = hazard_in_kmh.intensity * 3.6
   hazard_in_kmh.units = "km/h"

   Please keep in mind that the default impact functions provided by CLIMADA are intended for use with m/s, so any impact you calculate with the transformed hazard might be wrong.

   @adgelt Were you able to transform the data to km/h?

   Hello @peanutfun yes I did. I have another question. Is this map can be downloaded as raster file? Or is there a way to extract the intensity or return period plots as a raster? Thanks for answering.

   @adgelt Sorry for the late reply. We often have similar requests but it is difficult to come up with a solution because CLIMADA-internal data structures work on a point-wise basis and do not retain information if these points create a grid or not (on purpose!). However, there is functionality for creating (interpolated) gridded data from the pointwise data, which is currently used within our plotting functions. Please see the discussion in #1035 for further information.
