   The normal unit of wind speed is the knot (nautical mile per hour = 0.51 m sec-1 = 1.15 mph). Wind direction is measured relative to true north (not magnetic north) and is reported from where the wind is blowing. An easterly wind blows from the east or 90 degrees, a southerly from the south or 180 degrees and a westerly from the west or 270 ...

   Beaufort scale. A ship in a force 12 (" hurricane -force") storm at sea, the highest rated on the Beaufort scale. The Beaufort scale (/ ˈboʊfərt / BOH-fərt) is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort wind force scale.

   Wind speed. An anemometer is commonly used to measure wind speed. In meteorology, wind speed, or wind flow speed, is a fundamental atmospheric quantity caused by air moving from high to low pressure, usually due to changes in temperature. Wind speed is now commonly measured with an anemometer.

   The traditional and the most common tool or the instrument used for measuring wind speed (and direction) is called an anemometer. It consists of a vertical pillar and three or four cups. These cups capture the movement of air flows, and that’s how we get data about wind speed. But this is not the only type of instrument for measuring wind.

   Units of Measurement for Wind Speed. Metric System. In the metric system, wind speed is commonly measured in meters per second (m/s). This unit is widely used in scientific research and is considered the standard unit for wind speed in the International System of Units (SI). Imperial System.

   The wind is simply the horizontal movement of air. Wind measurement is composed of two complementary parameters: its speed (or force) and its direction. The units of measurement of wind used in the UK are km/h or m/s for its speed, and knots (1 knot = 1.852 km/h) which are mainly used by sailors and pilots.

   How are wind speed and strength measured?

   • Before the advent of anemometers, the wind was measured by the Beaufort wind force scale, which relates wind speed to observed conditions at the sea and on land. In other words, wind speed and strength are not measured by specific instruments, but by human visual observation.

   How to measure wind speed & direction?

   • The anemometer is the reference device for measuring wind speed and is perfectly complemented by the wind vane which is able to indicate the direction of the wind. These can be found in the shops at very affordable prices, but there are also more elaborate and technologically advanced models for better measurement of wind speed and direction.
