Rainfall units

Post by stuartturrell »

Hi there,
great software! I love it, that's why i have purchased a copy :)

Anyway, question. Can you add an option to use "mm" as the units for rainfall instead of inches.

That would be great!

Many thanks!

Stuart

Hey, Stuart, thanks for the compliments and for buying YoWindow!

When you set distance units to kilometers, the rainfall units are displayed in millimeters.
I was thinking if you measure the distance in miles, you would prefer inches.
Was I right?

What country are you from?
Do you prefer US or Metric units?

I'm in the UK, where we seem to use a mixture of metric and US units.

For rainfall we usually use MM, but with distance, Miles tends to be the units we use.

That's the news for me!
I'm confused.
I wasn't expecting the use of both unit worlds in one country.

Can you give me the units used in UK to display the following weather parameters?
wind speed:
pressure:
precipitationAmount:
visibility:
dailyRainTotal:
snowLevel:

By the way I just came back from UK visa center.
I have applied for UK visa today.
Expecting to visit London in the end of April :)

We are an akward country.

No idea why we dont use the km units as we use mm, that is strange.

Hey, Stuart!

I have added an option to choose "mm" as the rainfall units.
Download the RC and let me know if you are happy with the unit customisation level.
