The Beaufort Scale is used internationally to standardize estimates of wind speed.
There are four grades of breeze, ranging from light to strong, and with air speeds ranging from 4 mph (5.6 - 11 km/h) through to 25 - 30 mph (39 - 49 km/h).
Wind covers the range from 31 - 38 mph ( 50 - 61 km/h).
Although originally designed for sea use, the modern descriptions also have land descriptors such as "Whole trees in motion. Effort needed to walk against the wind."
