Wind spead localisation issue (only mph, but no km/h)

[Seth Kriticos]

An option to set the local unit for wind speed for metric counties is missing.

Confirmed. I guess, we will have to move out from Google Weather API to implement that

[Seth Kriticos (seth-kriticos)]

Was googling for the Google weather API, and it's possible to obtain localized weather data (localized weather condition names, unit system) by adding hl=<localtion> parameter to the query. An example:

http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Berlin&hl=de

Returns localized weather information for Berlin (Germany), with the local unit system (SI).

Thats right, but I'd prefer the units to be configurable by the user

[Lassevalentini (lasse-valentini)]

If you are always retrieving the weather data in mph, you could simply calculate the km/h.

After a short investigation it seems that using other data source will
require a massive rework of the code, so let's just convert units, returned
by Google.
