Knowing the source of your data, and knowing I am racing at Bahrain today, I looked up the weather. However, it appears you are possibly miscalculating the wind speed (and I have no idea how important it is to the game engine), or you just have a small typo.
On the metric side (from the source) the weather is 30°C with wind at 22kph
In iGP, the live weather is showing up as 30°C with wind at 22mph
If you want to have wind in mph, it would be 14mph.
As I said, a minor bug that does not need to be fixed immediately

Greg, I have just spectated all the available tracks and they all show the wind speed in kph. There isn't a Bahrain race going right now, but I would expect it to be in kph, since it's the same feed for all tracks. I just looked at the source for Bahrain and it shows the wind in kph.

Sorry Edwin but I've just checked myself and it's saying this.

It's saying mph for me as well.

I see where the problem is.
On the 'next race' league page the wind speed is in MPH
Clicking on the Live Weather (get forcast) link takes you to a page where all the information is in KPH
I think that should be tidied up at some time - not urgent as I think the values are correct anyway, they are not the same number.
Sorry I must have missed that in Beta - lol!!

Ah I understand now. Thank you.
I will ask for this to be looked into.

It'd be nice to have that unified across the site and the game. I'm comfortable with either system, but it's always bugged me that the temps are in metric and the wind speed on the Next Race page was in Imperial (free viewer and 2d both use metric).
