How do we measure the elements of the weather? Meteorologist use special instruments to measure temperature, rainfall, wind direction, wind speed and the other elements of weather. Some of these instruments are Anemometer, Rain gauge, Wind vane and Thermometer. Anemometer is an anemometer measures wind speed in knots, kilometres or miles per hour. Rain gauge is a rain gauge measures rainfall in millimetres, centimetres or inches. Wind vane shows the direction from which blows. Thermometer measures the amount of heat or temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. Rainfall is measured in centimetres or inches and wind speed is measured in knots or kilometres per hour.
