Weather Temperature Unit #53

Closed penguinvasion closed 10 years ago

penguinvasion commented 10 years ago

It seems like the temperature unit (celsius vs fahrenheit) is determined based on the location you search for.

For example: When I search for "Vancouver, WA weather" I get fahrenheit, and when I search for "Vancouver, BC weather" I get celsius.

This is undesireable because I often want to see the weather in American cities in celsius. I have my region set to Canada in settings. Shouldn't the unit be determined by that region, rather than the search target?

I can't seem to find any way of changing this through weather.io either. The settings there don't seem to affect DDG.

@penguinvasion at the time you created this issue it was not possible to switch units. Current a PR is under review in the Spice repo, https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice/pull/457, which will solve this issue.

Also, please try to add issues to the correct Instant Answer repo, ie. Spice, Goodies, Fathead or Longtail.
