DID YOU KNOW that Sir. Francis Beaufort was Irish? (Co. Meath 1774). He had a huge interest in ships and exploring. He left school at 13 and went on to create a scale that measures wind speed.
O is calm
1 is light air
3-6 are the breezes
7-9 are the gales ( we are well used to them)
10-11 are the storms
12 is hurricane force
