Well, I wrote about the same issue a couple of pages back, and you can see for yourself what the resolution was...

Now having said that, what matters here is what is delivered by WebParser, not the browser. Unfortunately, I cannot replicate the issue, just tried jsmorley's skin again and it's returning the correct imperial units. I'm not sure if toggling the other options in the WebParser parent (i.e. ForceReload, UserAgent, etc.) would make a difference, as it didn't for me, the browser and WebParser results continuing being different in terms of units.

Maybe jsmorley can help with more on this - me, that's all I got.

P.S. And for freaking sake, it's Celsius, not Celcius, LOL.

Guess I was up too late to type correctly... CelSius. I tried using all different versions of location. I deleted everything and downloaded a fresh v3 with the default from jsmorely/ Fort Hood VA. Always comes back metric. I changed the UserAgent to only be "Mobile Safari/537.36" to try and force a different response. Nothing, everything metric. If there is a setting I am missing, please tell me.

Well, that's a new one... Can you .zip up the entire folder for your weather skin and attach it here? I'd like to see if there is something you have changed, maybe inadvertently, that is causing this.

I have not had time to try this, but if you go to the weather.com site, you can manually select the locale and units. It's sticky, so when you return to the site, it's still set, which I assume means it's something stored in a cookie. I wonder... if you pick "C" manually on the site, will the WebParser call return metric even for non-metric locales? It's obviously possible with the browser, but I didn't think WebParser read cookies. (Obviously you'd need use IE to replicate this.)

Yeah, it might be worth using "Internet Options" from the Start menu, and entirely clearing the cache and cookies for Internet Explorer.

I used a cleanly downloaded and updated as of 6/7/2020 version of your JSON v3. I deleted all cookies and cache but it still it returns metric. Using the default URL and your webparse in RainRegExp it gives me units=m. I tried my location code (USMO1053), the lon/lat, and tried the long description for St. Louis Missouri. Same results. I tried using chrome and edge, clicking on C and back to F, same results. I tried us-ca, same results.

Well, when I download and run your version of Weather.com, directly from the .zip you provided, it works as expected.

This tells me that there simply must be something "stuck" in your cache or cookies for Internet Explorer. Not Edge, nothing to do with it. Not Chrome, nothing to do with it. Microsoft Internet Explorer.


I would first entirely Exit Rainmeter.

Then:

Do that one above at least 3 times, waiting a minute or so between each time.




Then delete any files that somehow survived that. None should have really...

Then wait a minute or two and restart Rainmeter.

For me as well. I didn't clear my cookies or anything, since the last time a week or so ago.
Bhench reported that he did clear the cookies beforehand, but I'm not sure he did all the steps you posted in the above reply though.

Well Mr jsmorely.... I did all that and still got metric. I rebooted, cleared it again and FINALLY... I have Imperial. I have no idea what was causing it and cannot thank you enough for helping me resolve it.
