    Hi Hans,

    I have a location where it shows Precip.: 0.6mm / 68% / Rain if using metric units. However, if I turned metric units off and use imperial, it shows 0.00094488188976378in / 68% / Rain .

    Assuming the value for the metric units is correct, then the value for the imperial doesn’t match the 25.4-time conversion. see https://www.google.com/search?q=0.6mm+to+inches

    Right now I’m not sure which value is reliable but the conversion seems off. Any ideas?

    Thank you,
    Rob

    The question above refers to the forecast days. From my observation, I’d assume the precip value for the metric units is correct but the conversion isn’t.

    Then, when I observe the precip value for the current day, I doubt the value for the metric units is accurate. Please see my comparison https://ibb.co/0qXpyX5.

    This is my setting in case you find to replicate it. https://ibb.co/QY3Ppvw

    Again, thank you so much!

    Hi Rob,

    thank you very much for your analysis and results. Indeed it seems the metric value of the precipitation in openmeteo data is divided two times by 25.4 and thus the wrong inches are calculated. I will try to fix this asap and release a new package.

    Thanks again, Hans
