@irisharoundtheworld0: DID YOU KNOW THE BEAUFORT SCALE WAS CREATED BY AN IRISHMAN? 🌊🇮🇪 Francis Beaufort was born in County Meath in 1774 and went on to develop a system for describing the strength of the wind based on its effects at sea. It became known as the Beaufort Scale; and more than two centuries later, versions of it are still used around the world. 🌬️ From County Meath to weather reports and seas across the globe. ☘️ Had you heard of Francis Beaufort before? 👇 #IrishHistory #IrishInventors #Ireland #BeaufortScale
