I have the Accuweather forecast for Bartlett, northeastern USA. Although the 
link below is the metric option, only the temperatures are in Celsius. 
Everything else in that option is USC.

Accuweather has an international website as well. For the Finnish place Vantaa, 
the metric option is more metric. The site is not international enough to use 
ISO 8601.
When I clicked on 'Sunset', I got the weather details of Vantaa for today, 
Wednesday. A slip on the top: "Snow, accumulating a coating to an inch."
Then further down: Amount of snow fallen today: 0.51 cm, how accurate indeed! 
Going for a second to the 'English' option, it was clear that this was a stupid 
conversion from 0.2 inch. When another day is selected, 'amounts of snow' given 
are exact conversions from inch-values as well. The 'English' options on both 
sites are 100% 'English', the metric ones are defective.

BTW: The weather in Western Europe is very mild and we are experiencing a 
winter that may turn out to the mildest on record when the books are closed on 
March 1. Only last Thursday we had a whiff of winter, about 10 cm of snow, but 
that was followed on its heels by rain and rising temperatures. For the coming 
weekend in the Netherlands temperatures in double figures are expected.
