It seems reasonable, per the documentation (under the section, "Weather Units"), that `?M` would enable metric ("metric (SI), but show wind speed in m/s") all by itself.

In the USA, we have to pass `?m&M` (`https://wttr.in/?m&M`) to get metric and meters/second. If we just pass `?M`, we get USCS units for everything else and windspeed in meters/second.
