, ranging in strength from 4 to 6 knots. Winds of this strength can be felt on skin and can make small leaves and twigs rustle. It produces a more visible drift in chimney smoke than Light air

A light air is a wind of force 1 on the Beaufort Scale, ranging in strength from 1 to 3 knots. Wind of this strength may not be felt on the skin, and leaves vegetation essentially undisturbed. It induces a drift in columns of smoke. At sea, a light air will raise small ripples on the surface of the...
