You can look up "hot wire anemometer".  These are existing devices but know=

to not be too accurate.  For example, typhoon Paka in the Pacific in 1997
was first thought to have beat the previous land wind speed record of 231
miles/hour on Mt Washington in 1934.  The Paka measurement was made with a
hot wire anemometer, and was later determined not to have reliably indicate=

a record breaking speed.
