Weather scales are systems used to measure and categorize various weather phenomena. For example, the Beaufort Scale measures wind speed and its effects on the environment, ranging from calm to hurricane-force winds. Similarly, the Fujita Scale assesses tornado intensity based on the damage caused, helping to understand the storm's strength. Another important scale is the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which classifies hurricanes from Category 1 to Category 5 based on sustained wind speeds. These scales help meteorologists communicate weather conditions effectively and inform the public about potential dangers associated with severe weather events.
