Is there a way to change the cloudbase in km's instead of ft?

Thanks in advance,

As far as I know, only by using some Javascript on your webpage.

No, sorry - currently only metres or feet.

Yes - it's a bit harder because the tag includes the units, I may do something about that.

But TBH the cloud base figure isn't what I consider to be a very serious part of Cumulus or deserving of much of my effort.

How do i change it to metres then?

I dont use the figure, only want to display the text...

Thanks in advance...

This is what I get when I have metres selected:

$cloudbase = "283 m"; // calculated cloud base

and this is what I get when I have feet selected:

$cloudbase = "931 ft"; // calculated cloud base

And the main Cumulus display on my PC changes correspondingly. I'm afraid I have no idea why it apparently doesn't work for you.

Works for me too Steve - v1.9.1

I see it works for him too now. Perhaps you needed to wait for an update, or was it a PEBKAC error

?
I've (and just for fun!) used Javascript to take out the "m" to have just the number used in the cloudbase figure and used it to calculate the "Chance of Rain"...just for fun. I'm guessing this would only work in my part of the world though.

Oh, and yes there is. Do you want it, or are you happy with meters?

It works now...

Thanks
