BeaufortScaleNumber

BeaufortScaleIntegerCode

The Beaufort wind force scale is a system used to estimate and report wind speeds when no measuring apparatus is available. It was invented in the early 19th century by Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort of the British Navy as a way to interpret winds from conditions. Values range from 0 (calm) to 12 (hurricane force).

CeilingCloud
