Best Answer

Speed: anemometer.

Direction: wind- or weather-vane, which for accurate readings would have

some form of angle sensor.

The two are sometimes used together as an aerovane.

Another common device is the "wind sock," an orange cloth cone used to indicate

crosswinds at airports and heliports. Within a range of speeds, the cone indicates

wind direction, and it gives a general idea of the wind speed from the inflation of

the cone by the wind.
