Metric bully
I check Weather.com radar regularly because it's unquestionably the best. Accurate 95% of the time. I almost never use their website for anything else because they're annoyingly Carbon Cultist. Recently I checked the radar view from Calgary ONCE while trying to answer the question about Canada's superior fire handling.
Now Weather.com thinks I'm Canadian, even though the bookmark clearly led to 99205. They've switched ALL temps to Centigrade! Gave me a heart-bump when I checked the local radar just now and saw 27 degrees.
Looks like Calgary's weather today is Partly Lasagna.
Later, 1AM 8/25:
Rain is coming! Not much, but some. ... Nope, we got one flash of lightning but no raindrops. Still, some places did receive a few drops. First rain in the area for many many many days. 4:35AM: Nope again! REAL RAIN! Can hear it on the windows, can catch it in my hand, can even SMELL IT! HALLELUJAH! (For 5 minutes.)
