Isn't it obvious? Most people still think that way. No sense on confusing
the GBP with KPH or Knots is it...?


I would have thought most people would have preferred the Beaufort Scale!
They would probably find descriptive terms like "Fresh", Gale and Storm Force
much more understandable than a numeric speed whatever the units. Yachtsmen
and aviators excepted of course.

I would guess that forecast wind speeds are fairly approximate anyway, and
not usually reliable within 1 MPH.
