Title: Temperature scale
Post by: Duncan S on January 27, 2015, 11:53.: Not major, but is it possible to change the temp scale to centigrade in the forecast [or have it as an option]?
I've had a little look around but no settings apparent. :-\

I have searched the weather.com site for a script that will show both °C and °F at the same time or even give users the opportunity to choose their preference but unfortunately this is not available. You can display one or the other but not both at the same time. Almost all of our membership are brits who in my experience seem to prefer the forecast in °F. I have attached a conversion chart which you can print off for quick reference ..... hope this helps !

Comes over fairly ridiculous sending an email to someone outside that we have 50 degrees now in Alicante :-)

Shouldn't that be "winner by a Kilometre!" I'll get my coat.
