A complete measurement of wind includes its direction and speed.
The speed may be expressed in units of kilometers per hour, miles
per hour or knots.
When either of the first two choices is used and abbreviated,
"hr" stands for "hour".
For wind speed: anemometers For wind direction: wind vanes or wind socks
67% per hr 67% per hr
xeg X vtg = Wind in anemometer
A thermometer.
W60 = 60 m/s wind speed = 216 km/hr
For wind speed: anemometers For wind direction: wind vanes or wind socks
An anemometer is used for measuring the speed of wind,
The scale for measuring wind velocity is the Beaufort scale, based on wind conditions observed at sea by sailing ships. The scale is as follows : 0- calm, no wind (< 1 km/hr or 0.3 m/sec) 1- light air ( 1 to 5 km/hr ) 2- light breeze (6 to 11 km/hr) 3-gentle breeze (12 to 19 km/hr) 4-moderate wind (20 to 28 km/hr) 5-fresh wind (29 to 38 km/hr) 6-strong wind (39 to 49 km/hr) 7-near gale (50 to 61 km/hr) 8-gale (62 to 74 km/hr) 9-severe wind (75 to 88 km/hr) 10- storm (89 to 102 km/hr) 11-severe storm (103 to 117 km/hr) 12-hurricane (118 km/hr and higher) 13-17 (added in 1946, applied today only to typhoons)
in metric it will be mm/hr

For measuring wind speed
We can use windsocks and wind wanes.
You can measure wind force with force transducer.
