There's a thing called the Beaufort scale that doesn't really have units, and is based on water wave action at a given wind velocity. Beaufort 0 is dead calm and Beaufort 12 is a hurricane.

Knots (nautical miles per hour) is how wind is usually measured. One knot is about 1.15 MPH. Meters per second (m/s) is another way wind speed is described, as well as miles per hour. (mph)

(Any unit of length) divided by (any unit of time) is a unit of speed. Any unit of speed can be used to describe the speed of wind. The most common units used for that purpose are

"kilometer per hour" . . kilometers per hour

"mile per hour" . . . . . . statute miles per hour

"knot" . . . . . . . . . . . . . nautical miles per hour
