Hi,

At the moment the weeWX tag system 
<http://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Tags> does not support Beaufort wind 
speeds. WeeWX has a function in bin/weewx/wxformaulas.py to calculate 
Beaufort wind speed but it is not used. You have seen Beaufort mentioned in 
the change log, Beaufort was added to the StdWXCalculate service but it is 
presently disabled; I am not sure why this is so - Matthew maybe able to 
answer that one.

So the only way to include Beaufort wind speed in a template now is through 
in-line python code in the template (example in the gauge-data.txt template 
here 
<https://github.com/mcrossley/SteelSeries-Weather-Gauges/blob/master/weather_server/WeeWX/gauge-data.txt.tmpl>
 
- code starts at line 170) or create a search list extension to calculate 
the Beaufort wind speed - this could use the beaufort() function in 
wxformuals.py. In theory, you could enable beaufort in StdWXCalculate and 
would then have access to the $current.beaufort tag in reports, but as I 
said I am not sure why this was disabled. Finally, you can do as you and 
others have and calculate it externally to weeWX if its to be used on a web 
page or elsewhere.
