To all,

I am going to perpetrate a filthy trick on Weather Channel, by asking
Eurolines, the European bus company with which I travel to Ireland every
year, to drop them and to switch to Wunderground.
Eurolines gives weather forecasts but uses the wrong service, which means
that Europeans who want forecasts for their European destinations are
bombarded with garbage.

Dear Sir, Madam,

I saw that you offer weather forecasts for all European destinations on your
homepage. That is a good service. When I go to Dublin with you again this
June, it is handy to ask the weather for this city via your site.

But I think that you have chosen the wrong weather site. Weather Channel is
an American site for the exclusive use of those Americans who are opposed to
the metric system. It offers weather data in American units only, like
degrees Fahrenheit, inches of mercury, precipitation in inches and wind
speeds in miles per hour. For years they have been refusing to allow choice
in measuring units; which means the possibility to switch with a button
between *International or metric* and *American* units.

Seeing the weather data of European cities like Paris and Amsterdam in
American units repels me.

There is an alternative, the site of Wunderground com., also US-based. This
one is international in scope, however. Like Weather Channel, it gives world
wide forecasts.

It offers a choice in many languages and it offers a choice in measuring
units:

English             English/Metric            Metric

For these reasons, this site is vastly preferable to the other one and
Wunderground deserves our support. It is much better for everyone who wants
weather forecasts. In the interest of your European clients, please drop
Weather Channel and change to Wunderground
