Units for wind speed



The http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50595 bug talks about units
for wind speed.

Appearantly, even though many countries use metric units for this, the
choice of units vary. For example, I'm fairly sure most weather reports in
France display wind speeds measured in km/h (kilometres per hour), but in
Sweden all weather reports display wind speeds measured in m/s (metres
per second). To make sure that gweather picks the appropriate unit for
each locale, we need to gather this information for locales.

So if you can add information to the list below, please do so. Add
"CONFIRMED" if you have found some seemingly official document that states
which unit should be used in wind speed reports. Otherwise, just watch
some weather reports and watch the wind speed units used. :)
