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 is used to categorize hurricanes based on wind speed and corresponding potential for damage. It ranks hurricanes on a scale from Category 1 (weakest) to Category 5 (strongest), with higher categories indicating greater wind speeds and potential for destruction.
The Saffir-Simpson scale.
A scale used to measure wind speed is called a anemometer. It measures the velocity of wind.
This is the Beaufort scale.

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.

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.
The most widely used wind scale is the Beaufort scale, which measures wind speed based on observations of the effects of wind on the physical environment. It ranges from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane force).
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.
This is the Beaufort scale.
