A couple of weeks ago, I enabled Google Now notifications in my (desktop) Chrome browser.
One thing I noticed, that on the weather card the temperature for Vienna, Austria, was given in Fahrenheit, instead of Celsius. Weirdly, there was no setting for this.
My PCs are definitely all running with Austrian locale (so it should be Celsius), this particular PC even with German language (and the combination of German and Fahrenheit is rather odd). And nowhere could I change this.
My mobile devices are also all on Celsius, so I thought it could not have been picked up from there.
Oddly, however, on my other PC (laptop), it displayed in Celsius. And even more oddly, this PC had English as language.
So did some Googling and found suggestions that you need to change this on the iPhone (iPad in my case), and that maybe switching to F and back to C could work.
That's what I did. Go to Google app on iPad, then into Settings > Google Now > Weather > Temperature.
Change for Fahrenheit, save.
Repeat with Celsius.
And voila, it is Celsius on the Desktop Chrome as well ...
Weird, but part of my software developer brain actually understands this.
