Try finding the weather in metric, though. Everything – temperature, windspeed (miles per hour, unless it's an offshore report, then it's knots), atmospheric pressure, wave heights, precipitation amounts and rate, and so on – is US customary.

Luckily you can now check the weather on your phone, and I suspect more people do so nowadays than getting it from TV or newspapers. And it’s easy to set any weather app to use international units.

Absolutely. I was speaking of the official NWS reports, which are still in US customary.
