Sorry, I thought we were talking about mass-media, etc.
Of course I believe you that the MoD etc might want that information

Q: Who does the met office report the weather to?
A: To the Ministry of Defence and anybody else who is prepared to pay for
the service.
If you don't believe me, check up on the Met Office website and find out
who
runs the Met Office, who appoints its officers etc.

Question: Who does the met office report the weather to?
Answer: Those who report the weather to us.
I'm not aware of the met office ever broadcasting directly to the public.
And wind speed is always converted to mph whenever I have seen it on TV or
heard it on the radio.
I guess it's possible that some papers quote knots, or that the shipping
forecast uses knots but I've never seen/heard that myself.
