Metric Rainfall Fixed !
« on: June 21, 2019, 04:23:10 AM »
Anyone who berates WU for never responding to complaints, or fixing anything, is wide of the mark. They have just fixed the metric rainfall issue on Wundermap !   Don't know when it happened, but for years only nonsensical values were being shown.

I think Temps will now be rounded off to a single digit, so a 76° temp for example, will be shown as 7°  :lol:

Rainfall should be measured in mm, not cm.  I would not say this is fixed.

After focus group analysis, temp will be listed in Roman Numerals      72.50 will be LXXII. 1/2  cubic degrees

I think they should move to Binary:  0-10000101-00100010000000000000000. Probably more precise and no decimals.

Maybe they'll switch to leagues or fathoms.  That would make for an interesting, and even more useless, display.  At least it's water related.
