Calm, smoke rises vertically Smoke drift indicates wind direction, still wind vanes Wind felt on face, leaves rustle, vanes begin to move Leaves and small twigs constantly moving, light flags extended Dust, leaves, and loose paper lifted, small tree branches move Small trees in leaf begin to sway Larger tree branches moving, whistling in wires Whole trees moving, resistance felt walking against wind Twigs breaking off trees, generally impedes progress Slight structural damage occurs, slate blows off roofs Seldom experienced on land, trees broken or uprooted, "Considerable structural damage" Devastation Occurs

The Beauty of Sir Beaufort's Wind
Calm, smoke rises vertically Smoke drift indicates wind direction, still wind vanes Wind felt on face, leaves rustle, vanes begin to move Leaves and small twigs constantly moving, light flags extended Dust, leaves, and loose paper lifted, small tree branches move Small trees in leaf begin to sway Larger tree branches moving, whistling in wires Whole trees moving, resistance felt walking against wind Twigs breaking off trees, generally impedes progress Slight structural damage occurs, slate blows off roofs Seldom experienced on land, trees broken or uprooted, "Considerable structural damage" Devastation Occurs
