* Switchable units to suit all international needs ie. °F/°C, inches/mm, km/miles
* Has the look and feel of a polished brass meteorological instrument

Explanation
* Forecast temperatures are shown in red for maximum daily temperature, blue for minimum daily temperature
* To the right of each forecast min and max temperature is a series of red or blue marker bars - from none up to six
- Each marker represents 2°F / 1°C deviation from the average for this day of the year
- Red markers indicate ABOVE average; Blue markers indicate BELOW average
- No colored bars means the forecast temperature is normal (average) for this day of the year
- Six colored bars mean the forecast temperature is 12°F / 6°C or more from average

How to Use
* Personalise the list of cities to include whichever places you are interested in - use Edit or Add
* Peruse the weather daily - watch the red and blue bars to see where the weather is unusually cold or warm for the time of year
* See forecasts for days ahead
* Use the climate feature to find typical weather conditions for any given day of the day, including average temperatures, likelihood of rain on that day, and if it does rain, how much rain is typical

Notes
* Although most governments provide frequent and comprehensive information, some are less reliable. To remedy this, in those cases where official forecast data may be temporarily lacking, climate averages are displayed in their place.
