When we are measuring wind there are 2 things that are measured. Those 2 things would be the wind direction and the wind speed.
Wind direction we measure with a instrument we call a wind vane, when we measure the wind we can say 1 of 2 things (depending on your style, both ways are correct). The first way is to measure the direction the wind is coming out of. For example, when we say we have a "north wind", we are technically saying the wind is coming out of the north. The second way is the measure the direction it is blowing. Using the wind from above, a north wind would be blowing south.
Wind speed we measure with a instrument we call a anemometer, we can use any of the speed units (MPH, KMPH, or Knots). Many meteorologists in the United States use Miles Per Hour for their speed unit, and ships out at sea use the unit Knots.
