A beaufort scale measures wind speed.
The Beaufort scale was invented in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort, a Royal Navy officer. It is a scale for estimating wind speeds based on observed sea conditions.

The Beaufort scale is used to indicate approximate wind speed.
The Beaufort Scale
The Highest measurement of Beaufort scale is 12, which refers to Hurricane-force.
Like all hurricanes, it was a 12 on the Beaufort Scale. That is as high as the scale goes.
Named after Francis Beaufort, the Beaufort Scale measures the wind speed as observed at sea or on land.

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.
This is the Beaufort scale.
Beaufort Scale.
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.
