Thanks for this information, Martin.
That comment about "kph" is interesting; it has reared its ugly head
again. I got involved with getting them metricated when they first
started up; probably it was a 2-man outfit at the time. Much of that
interaction was by phone. We discussed "kph" v. "km/h" as well as the
location of the space in temperature indications and the use of
hectopascals instead of millibars for barometric pressure.
They've come a long ways since then. Don's work with them has paid off.

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".
