How come wind is only measured in a barometer?

Actually, a barometer is an instrument for measuring air pressure, or atmospheric pressure, but not wind speed or the "pressure" of a wind. This atmospheric pressure is caused by the weight of air above the point of measurement. The instrument that measures wind speed is called an anemometer. Wind direction is indicated by a weather vane.
