【Wind】 , 【breeze】 ,  【gale】 ,  【hurricane】 ,  【zephyr】  are comparable rather than synonymous terms that can all basically mean air in motion.

【Wind】 is the general term referable to any sort of natural motion whatever its degree of velocity or of force.

【Breeze】 in general use is applied to relatively light but fresh 【wind】 , usually a pleasant or welcome one.

In technical meteorological use the term specifically denotes a 【wind】 with a velocity of from 4 to 31 miles an hour. Breezes are sometimes further described as light (4-7 miles an hour), gentle (8-12), moderate (13-18), fresh (19-24), strong (25-31).

【Gale】  in ordinary use is applied to a high, destructive 【wind】 of considerable velocity and force; technically the term is applied specifically to a 【wind】 between 32 and 63 miles an hour; a whole 【gale】  is one having a velocity between 55 and 63 miles an hour.

【Hurricane】  is sometimes applied popularly to an exceedingly violent or devastating windstorm but technically the term denotes a rotating windstorm with winds of particular velocities (see also WHIRLWIND ).

【Zephyr】 is a poetical term for a very light gentle 【breeze】 that delicately touches objects.
