The Beaufort scale.
You can express or determine the speed of wind using the Beaufort Wind Scale.
The Beaufort scale is used to indicate approximate wind speed.
There are several "scales" used for describing wind speed, but the most common may be the Beaufort Scale of wind speeds, in 12 steps from "Calm" to "Light Air", all the way to "hurricane". The Beaufort Scale isn't used to MEASURE wind speed, but to DESCRIBE it.
The Saffir-Simpson scale.

This is the Beaufort scale.

The Beaufort scale is used to indicate approximate wind speed.
Sailors and forecasters use the Beaufort Wind Scale as a way to rate wind speed. The scale ranges from zero for calm to 12 for a hurricane.
A wind speed scale is a scale that rates a storm or other weather event based on wind speed. Examples include the Beaufort scale and the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. The Fujita scale is sometimes called a wind speed scale, but it is really a damage scale.

Wind strength is normally measured on the empirical Beaufort wind force scale. This scale relates wind speed and the conditions observed on land and at sea, but it measures wind speed rather than force as it is understood scientifically.

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.
There are many ways to measure wind, but most common is Beaufort.
