The windspeed during the storm was increasing by roughly 3 KPH!
============================================
In Europe it is very common to measure wind speed in meters per
second. There is a handy conversion however taught to me by a Swede
who used to crew on my former racing boat. If you double meters per
second, it is almost exactly equal to knots. Try it, it works.
My only point was that there IS a correct way to use the term "KPH", although it
is frequently used incorrectly. "Knots" includes an implied "per hour", so the
only time you would add "Per Hour" after knots, (KPH) would be to describe by
how much speed something (wind, boat, dolphins) was increasing or decreasing on
average referenced to an elapsed hour.
===================================
Silly me. I assumed you were talking about Kilometers Per Hour
knowing full well that Knots Per Hour would be redundant and
repetitious and incorrect and redundant and repetitious and ...
