The Beaufort scale is a measure of wind intensity based on observed sea conditions. It ranges from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane force). Each number corresponds to a range of wind speeds, from less than 1 knot to over 64 knots. The scale also includes descriptions of the sea state, wave height, and the effects of the wind on land and sea.

What is beaufort?
The Beaufort wind force scale, or simply Beaufort scale, was devised at the beginning of the 19th century (around 1805) to provide a standard measure of wind speeds for sailors.
What does the Beaufort scale rank?
The Beaufort scale is a measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions at sea or on land. Its full name is the Beaufort Wind Force Scale, although it is a measure of wind speed and not of "force" in the scientific sense of the word.
