Prestige,

    What the tempdefault element in the config file controls is the temperature label that is placed on the map. So if you set it to c the temperature label at the specific weather observation will be displayed in celsius. If you are not seeing this result I would try clearing your browsers cache. I have just verified that this is functioning as intended.

Hi Robert,

yes you are right. The units displayed on the map change. What i meant was the forecast units do not.

Prestige,

    Yes you are right the forecast does not currently honor the change. I will have to make this change and put out a new version.
