Here is the data, as per the responses I got:


locale  unit  status
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
de_DE   m/s   ?
el_GR   km/h  ?
et_EE   m/s   ?
fr_FR   km/h  CONFIRMED (used by the official French weather office on its website)
hu_HU   km/h  CONFIRMED (National institute for weather forecast, www.met.hu)
lt      m/s   ?
pl_PL   km/h  CONFIRMED (e.g. http://www.imgw.pl/cgi-bin/imgwtod?miasto=krakow)sk_SK   m/s   ?
sv_FI   m/s   ?
sv_SE   m/s   CONFIRMED (http://www.smhi.se/, http://www.tt.se/sprak/ordval.asp)

I don't know if the default (for locales not specified above) for metric
should be m/s or km/h, though. Perhaps m/s as meters and seconds are
base units, but I really don't know what makes the best default here.
