Greg, yes, that fixed it.  The ten day forecasts (max/min) are now in
Celsius on my Squeezebox.  Thanks!  

I understand the GUI clutter issue ... but this control probably should
be externalised so that the 10day forecast format can be easily set to
match the 'current' formats ... for all of us users in 'metric'/MKS
countries.  Just a single switch, like for the Long Weather Forecast
format, could do.  In fact, you could probably use a set of global
switches that would apply to all displays and simplify the Time/Weather
format strings.  Just a suggestion ...
