I am using this driver: https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp and specifically the settings for the tempest here: https://github.com/captain-coredump/weatherflow-udp/blob/master/sample_Tempest_sensor_map. The docs for the tempest UDP indicate the data is metric. Also, I grabbed packets using WIreShark and was able to confirm metric. Looking at the Python code for the drive I see " 'usUnits' : weewx.METRICWX}"
