Environment Canada operates this website. I'm not sure if the city (Windsor, Ontario) is embedded in the url, or a cookie. They source the Canadian data to the various newspapers and media outlets, just as NWS does in the US. They are proper metric, although I believe you can set conversion preferences by reading help file. http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/on-94_metric_e.html

You can choose many different countries and cities within each country, so I tried where I live (Seattle area): http://www.vancouversun.com/weather/index.html?rg=us&city=seattle I notice that everything is given in proper SI (except for wind speed, which is in km/h rather than m/s, but I'll take it anyway, especially since they use the proper syntax instead of some monstrosity like "kph"), including the use of kPa for barometric pressure. And there is no option I could find to switch to Imperial! I've seen Canadian national weather reports on the CBC and the story is the same --- not a whisper of Imperial anywhere. If only the USA were anywhere close to this! Cheers, Ezra
