      How can I get the weather module to show the forecast in Celsius? The values below are in Fahrenheit not Celsius otherwise we would be fried.

              {
                  module: "weather",
                  position: "top_left",
                  config: {
                      type: 'forecast',
                      weatherProvider: 'weathergov',
                      apiBase: 'https://api.weather.gov/points/', 
                      weatherEndpoint: '/forecast',
                      units: 'metric',
                      updateInterval: 180000,
                      timeFormat: 12,
                      degreeLabel: true,
                      colored: true,
                      fade: false,
                      roundTemp: true,
                      showPrecipitationAmount: true,
                      appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
                      initialLoadDelay: 5000,
                      lat: XX, // your latitude
                      lon: XX, // your longitude
                  }
      	    },

        @chanster Do you mind me asking where you’re located? Using weather.gov as a weather provider with Celsius isn’t a standard thing (and much as I can imagine that the API handles C properly, it won’t shock me if it doesn’t).

          @wenike I’m in California but I’m a transplant from Australia and I still cannot get used to Fahrenheit ! :). So I need to use a different provider? I tried using OpenWeatherMap but I found that their forecast is not very accurate.

          I switched it over to Weatherbit and am getting the temperature in Celsius now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

            @chanster I’m glad that it was! Hopefully it stays accurate for you too.
