I have taken the time to thank CNN Weather for
using SI to display wind velocity and temperature,
and also to explain to them that the more accepted
method to display kilometres per hour is km/h,
not kph.
If anyone else would like to provide them feedback
and this suggestion you can do it at:
http://www.cnn.com/WEATHER/
On the left, under discussions there is a feedback
button.
Take a moment to thank them and to suggest that
they change their wind velocity designation to km/h.
