How to fix
Weather App is showing temperature in Farenheit instead of Celcius
on Windows

Hello. I wanted to change how the temperature is displayed on my Windows computer. I set it to Celcius but the Weather app still shows it in Fahrenheit. Is there a way to fix this?

The Weather app in Windows is a program that provides users with current weather information for their location. The app displays the current temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure, as well as a forecast for the next few days. Users can enter their location manually or allow the app to automatically detect their location using their device's GPS.

The Weather app also provides alerts for severe weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Users can customize the app to receive notifications for specific types of weather events or locations. The app also includes a radar map that shows the location and movement of storms, as well as a satellite map that provides a detailed view of cloud cover.

However, some users have problems with the temperature display in the Weather app. People can choose how they want to see the temperature - in Fahrenheit or Celcius. However, people report setting the preferred option in Windows settings but the Weather app still showing the other temperature scale. For example, a user wanted to see the temperature in Celcius but the app still shows it in Fahrenheit.
