I visited www.weatheronline.com - everything was pure American - customary
units only.  I next visited www.weatheronline.co.uk and got figures in both
imperial and metric units.  Moreover, the www.weatheronline.co.uk site gave
me the option to change language via a number of flags.  The result of
clicking the French, Spanish, Polish or Italian flags resulted in pure
metric units in the appropriate language while the New Zealand and EU flags
gave me the weather in metric units, the English language, but the country
menu was in German!

There was no German flag, so I visited www.wetteronline.de where everything
was in metric units and in German.  This page also had a Dutch flag and a
Chinese flag which behaved as expected.

The various countries could be accessed directly, for example, the Dutch
version is at www.weeronline.nl, the "EU" version is at www.woeurope.eu and
the Spanish version is at www.woespana.es . 

Happy surfing!

There is another thing. I clicked on the 7-day forecast and got a map below 
the forecast, labeled "Current Temps", in which North Carolina is 33 and 
South Carolina is 32. Those are typical summer temperatures here. I just 
walked home from work and there are ice sparkles on the grass, and the high 
tomorrow is 12.

The hourly forecast still says "kph" and puts a space between "°" and "C", 
which shouldn't be there. The temperatures on the 7-day forecast omit 
the "C". The box labeled "Your Forecast for Charlotte, NC" below the hourly 
gets the symbol right.
