Hi Gavin, I doubt if you will have much luck with Yahoo and their weather page. I emailed them about it ages ago, and did not get a favourable reply.

All they wrote was:

"Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Weather.


The default temperature measurement for Yahoo! Weather is Fahrenheit.


To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius on individual city pages, click
the "C" or "F" in the "Today" section.


All temperatures in the local forecast area, on maps and on images will be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit.

In your My Yahoo! Weather module, you can select to view your daily temperature information in either Fahrenheit or Celsius measurements. Click on the Edit button in your module and choose appropriately."


I replied and said that they missed the point, that is the forecast section was only in US units and not available in metric. I received a standard reply saying Thanks for writing, but that was all. Yahoo's customer service has never been much good. I think they just employ a robot and it could not cope with my reply, but the first time I wrote, it had an automated response about choosing �F or �C. I expect you have had similar responses.

Hello Walter of Portland and Jason Darfus. I'm Gavin of Beaverton. It is
nice to find someone in this message board who is in my area. Maybe we can
get local action plan meetings started.

Regarding weather, I use the Yahoo website and have a weather report
section. The weather page lets us customize the weather reports in metric,
but only for the top half of the page (see
http://weather.yahoo.com/forecast/USOR0030.html for an example).  I've sent
them a bug report about their site not converting the entire page to metric
units, but they are in denial. Perhaps if you and other send similar
reports, they will fully support metric weather reports. What do you say?
