Beaufort scale to m/s conversion possibly inaccurate #36

I think there is a typo in code, pywapi.py#L749

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pywapi-devel/python-weather-api/trunk/view/head:/py
wapi.py#L749

really should be 3.3 not 3.4.

Wikipeida is not a acceptable reference for real world, if you want I can 
change the wiki page for you.

You can see the fact sheet provided by MetOffice, UK which is a reference in 
that page.

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/media/pdf/4/4/Fact_Sheet_No._6_-_Beaufort_Scale.pdf

There is also a scale sheet in this document which is provided by JMA,

http://www.jma.go.jp/jma/jma-eng/jma-center/ric/material/1_Lecture_Notes/CP4-Win
d.pdf

and so on and so on and so on, basically every document published by every 
meteorological society in every state...

So I will save you time by referring the most important document of all, WMO 
No. 306 *Manual On Code* Vol-I-1 Part A, Section E

http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/WMOCodes/Manual/WMO306_Vol-I-1-PartA.pdf
