The Beaufort scale is a scale for measuring wind speeds. It is based on observation rather than accurate measurement. It is the most widely used system to measure wind speed today. The scale was developed in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort.There are twelve levels, plus 0 for no wind. From 1946 to 1970, there were also beaufort levels 13 to 17.he Beaufort scale is a scale for measuring wind speeds. It is based on observation rather than accurate measurement.
