If you find this, please list a source. I've looked at about 50 websites and can't find how fast the winds are there!

The highest wind speeds in Jupiter's Little Red Spot have increased and are now equal to the Great Red Spot, which is about 400 miles per hour. I already knew that but you probably would want some official source to what I said...

Wind Speeds On Jupiter

I've been there and I've got to say it's not as bad as you might think. I didn't even need a spacesuit. It was good, not great, but ... you know ... there were times I enjoyed the gentle breeze. They had a great club, "By Jove" it was called. Don't know if it's still there. They had a wind speed detector(?); I think it was a little off --- on the downside. It usually said 15 Kph. But I was drunk most of the time, so don't quote me on that one. Websites don't give answers, some kind of conspiracy to cover up the truth; maybe the owner of that club doesn't kick back enough.

The oval object rotates counterclockwise, with a period of about 6 days. The Great Red Spot's dimensions are 24–40,000 km × 12–14,000 km. It is large enough to contain two or three planets of Earth size. The cloudtops of this storm are about 8 km above the surrounding cloudtops.

According to NASA, wind speeds in the Great Red Spot range up to 400 miles per hour.

Check out this report for a study by the Galileo project on the Jovian wind speeds. It states wind speeds up to 450 mph.
