Reuters correctly uses "km/h" for wind and storm speed in this story on
tropical storm Katia.

One has to wonder why a reporter in Bangalore is covering the Atlantic
hurricane watch desk. I have also seen Reuters use "kph." They appear not to
have a firm policy. At least "km/h" made it through the editor. That is
better than AP's policy of institutionalized error, always "correcting" it to
wrong.
