The applet is missing atmospheric pressure in hPa #171

Closed artscoop closed 7 years ago

hPa and inHg (US only) are essentially the only 2 units in use for atmospheric pressure. hPa is not supported by the applet. I don't know if it's a feature request or a bug report.

1 hPa = 1 mbar

What's the problem?

The millibar is still often used in weather reports and forecasts for the public, but the term hectopascal is increasingly being used, especially on the Continent in general and France, in particular.

While hPa is used in meteorology most weatherforecasts quote atmospheric pressure in millibar.

Oh, sorry. My bad. Thanks!
