To the webmaster at wunderground.com: I've had your banner posted on my home page at the College of Charleston for a few years now. (Check out my URL below.) It's time to comment again on your product. Things are looking pretty good on the banner itself but the forecast page is a different matter: 1. I thought we had sorted out the spacing for temperatures but something seems to have slipped. In your block for "conditions" you need to change the text in your coding script to put the space in front of the raised circle and NOT between the raised circle and the "C". Even Canada is now shifting to follow this more prevalent universal practice. (By the way, that's also the way the SI brochure does it and since the authors of that brochure define the SI, they should know). 2. While you're at it, why don't you change the "kilometers" in the Visibility window to "km" (NOT kms, by the way!). Symbols are much more universal than spelled out unit names and are to be preferred. 3. CNN-weather and many other sites have mastered the ability to "translate" forecast info on the fly from American Hodgpodge (mph, temperatures in Foreignheight, etc.) to metric. Please make another effort to do so on your forecast page's "Forecast as of...." block as well. 4. Personally, I would like to see the times for sun and moon risings and settings to be expressed in 24 hour time, e.g., 0625, 2004, 0719, and 1804 for today. (You could still leave the (EDT) in there.) That is the time format that astronomers and mariners use. So do many airline schedules in the US. So does most of the world. You were once a leader in providing metric weather information in the US. Now you're starting to fall behind and it's time to take another look at the coding.
