Usage

beaufort(40)

// returns an object
{
	grade: 6.09,
	desc: "Strong breeze"
}

Options

There are two options that can be sent to the beaufort function. These are optional and have to be passed as an Object.

• lang : String or Array the language of the description string ( desc ). As a string there are two possible values, en for English or es for Spanish, the default value is en.
  As an array you can add your own language string values
• int : Boolean determines if the grade returns an integer or a floating number, default value is false.

Example

beaufort(40, {lang: 'es', int: true})

// returns the following object
{
	grade: 6,
	desc: "Brisa fuerte"
}

With an array of values as a lang parameter, for example with the greek strings as provided by @groubis

beaufort(1, { lang: ["Άπνοια", "Σχεδόν άπνοια", "Πολύ ασθενής", "Ασθενής", "Σχεδόν μέτριος", "Μέτριος", "Ισχυρός", "Σχεδόν θυελλώδης", "Θυελλώδης", "Πολύ θυελλώδης", "Θύελλα", "Σφοδρή θύελλα", "Τυφώνας"], int : true });

// returns the object:
{
	grade: 0,
	desc: "Άπνοια"
}

Greek Translation

Hello and thanks for your nice script,

if you want to add Greek translation, this is the array of objects including Greek:

var s = [ { speed: 0, desc: { en: "Calm", es: "Calma", el: "Άπνοια" } }, { speed: 2, desc: { en: "Light air", es: "Ventolina",el :"Σχεδόν άπνοια" } }, { speed: 6, desc: { en: "Light breeze", es: "Brisa muy débil",el :"Πολύ ασθενής" } }, { speed: 12, desc: { en: "Gentle breeze", es: "Brisa ligera",el :"Ασθενής" } }, { speed: 20, desc: { en: "Moderate breeze", es: "Brisa moderada",el :"Σχεδόν μέτριος" } }, { speed: 29, desc: { en: "Fresh breeze", es: "Brisa fresca",el :"Μέτριος" } }, { speed: 39, desc: { en: "Strong breeze", es: "Brisa fuerte",el :"Ισχυρός" } }, { speed: 50, desc: { en: "High wind", es: "Viento fuerte",el :"Σχεδόν θυελλώδης" } }, { speed: 62, desc: { en: "Gale", es: "Temporal",el :"Θυελλώδης" } }, { speed: 75, desc: { en: "Strong gale", es: "Temporal fuerte", el: "Πολύ θυελλώδης" } }, { speed: 89, desc: { en: "Storm", es: "Temporal duro", el : "Θύελλα" } }, { speed: 103, desc: { en: "Violent Storm", es: "Borrasca", el : "Σφοδρή θύελλα" } }, { speed: 118, desc: { en: "Hurricane", es: "Huracán", el : "Τυφώνας" } } ]
