Weather Underground, which is the most metricated and most detailed weather site, has rolled out a beta version of its Personal Weather Station (PWS) display and has asked for feedback. USMA's Don Hillger was instrumental in getting Weather Underground to display correct metric usage.

Don (and others), you may wish to check out the beta and make comments as appropriate. In order to see the beta display, you have to click on a Weather Station name on the main page. You will then be taken to a page headed Weather History for [Name of Weather Station]. In the heading of that page, you will see the New Dashboard link to click on. On the beta page, you will see a Feedback button about half-way down on the left side.

Note that in order to see the metric display, when you first go into the site, you need to click Settings in the upper right-hand corner, and in the Units pull-down menu, select Metric.

I noticed one correction to be made and have submitted it: to use "km/h" instead of the deprecated "kph".
