The striped cloud bands on Saturn, like Jupiter, are divided into belts and zones.

In a belt, the wind flows very strongly in one direction only. In a zone, the wind flows very strongly in exactly the opposite direction. These kinds of winds are called "zonal winds".

Measurements show that the winds of Saturn, within a belt or a zone can reach 500 m/sec (1100 miles/hour), but are usually 100 m/sec (225 miles/hour). On Earth, the most powerful winds during a hurricane can blow 100 miles per hour. So these winds of Saturn provide for a pretty rough environment.
