Convert Wind Speed

Task

Keep wind speed readable in both systems.

File / section

src/components/WeatherStats.jsx

Change

Use unit === "metric" ? weather.wind.speed * 3.6 : weather.wind.speed, then label metric as km/h and imperial as mph.

Why this change matters

The metric API wind value is meters per second; the dashboard converts it to km/h for readability.

Test it

Switch units and verify the wind number and label change.

Checkpoint

Wind speed follows the selected unit.
