Just goes to show that it's not easy to match location to measurement standard: you would be wrong if you picked Imperial measurements for the UK, unless the person viewing the page is of a certain mindset and born before about 1975.

I was raised in the UK, and used celsius. Now I live in the US and have learned to use Fahrenheit.

On a related note, I was very annoyed that Yahoo Weather will allow you to either choose centigrade and kilometers per hour, or Fahrenheit and MPH, but not to mix and match. Insane.

IMHO The UK is slightly more complex than that. When it's hot, we use Fahrenheit - "It's almost 100℉ out there!. When it's cold we use Celsius - "Brrr! -7℃"

Probably best to show both.

More importantly, the UK is far simpler than all the others.

The answer to "is it going to rain?" here is always "Who knows? Probably... can't really say. It looks sunny outside, but it was raining this morning so it might rain again later today."

Living in the UK, can't say I've ever seen that. Celsius all the way!

How fast is your temperature in the UK?

i changed it to default (on your first visit, before you have a cookie) to celsius for anything outside of the us. when you click on the answer you can toggle between celsius and fahrenheit and override whatever it picked.

Ah, that makes it perfect.

You've earned a little spot on my bookmarks toolbar.

thanks .. much appreciated.

That, and I think its going to snow here, not rain :P

goingtoprecipitate.com seemed like too long a name :)

predicipate.com

With unicode domain names, you could have preticipation?.com, although it may look a mess in non-Firefox browsers.

☂?.com

Oh, that was subtle.

I grew up in a metric place, in bay area now - But I can never get an instinctive feel for temperature unless its told to me in metric.

Would be nice to switch between C and F. I'm in Atlanta, but I prefer to see temperature as degrees Celsius.

It's always nice to meet progressive Oompa Loompas

Or even more simple. US (you could add Belize): fahrenheit. Every other country: celsius.

AFAIK the UK uses celsius mostly.

But some of us want to see the temperature in Fahrenheit no matter where we are, such as expats or travelers.
