I have this weather application on my Windows desktop at work. I have my preferences set to metric units – and I noticed that it is using the depricated unit of mb instead of hPa for pressure.
Meanwhile, here in California, we need to start measuring mountain snow accumulation in meters. The Sierra Nevada mountains and ski resorts have received 5.8 m of snow since 2004-12-28 !!

I use an applet from www.weather.com <http://www.weather.com> , which places a little blue square near the computer clock on the lower-right-hand corner of my screen. I think it's called "Desktop Weather," and it's free and not spyware. Mine says 6 degrees at the moment. It's easy to choose SI or American customary units.
John in what feels like NH January thaw

Yes, I use it all the time. Mozilla Firefox is wonderful, and the
weather plug in, if set to metric, will give temps and windspeeds in
metric. There is a similar plugin for the email program Mozilla
Thunderbird which I also use.
