Hi
I've kept all my Cumulus units in standard metric ones but a lot of folk have requested the wind speed in mph.
I know there are warnings about changing units . . . what will be the consequences?
Thanks
Steve

Re: Thinking of changing units
All of your existing wind data will be stored in whatever units you're currently using, but if you change units the data will be treated as if you were always using those units. So for example if you current all-time high wind speed is 50 kph (if kph is what you're using) then your all-time high will become 50 mph.
This may not be important to you. Or you could edit all of your files and convert all of your wind speed figures (including wind run etc) to your new units.

Thanks Steve. I'll give it some thought.
