Wind speed is measured using an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemometer anemometer]. It is typically made up of cups attached to spindle. The stronger the wind the faster the cups rotate and the higher the reading. Several readings should be taken over a couple of minutes and an average taken. The measurement is sometimes made in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knot_%28unit%29 knots] but any speed unit is possible.
Cumulus [[Cumulus.iniini_(Cumulus_1)|supports]]:
::0 = m/s (metres per second)
::1 = mph (miles per hour)
