I'm writing some example code about weather, and it made me wonder: what's the unit most commonly used for wind speed where you live?
Here in the mountains of NC I'm only seeing mph. In AK I'd see mph for land-based forecasts, and knots for marine-based forecasts.
What units do you see used, and where are you in the world? Is it kph elsewhere, m/s, or knots?
