Windrun only in Miles [Belchertown skin]

[Jan Stelling]

A couple of weeks I extended my weewx installation to include windrun and apparent temperature. On my records page, the windrun does only up in miles (Meilen):

I personally would expect it to be noted as kilometers. Any idea why it only shows up in miles? The database already uses metric units (set in weewx.conf, target_unit = metricwx).

The units used in the database have nothing to do with the units used in reporting. 

See the section Change units for all reports in the Customizing Guide for how to change the reporting units. I am not familiar with the  Belchertown skin, but if it acts like every other skin, you need to change the line 

group_distance     = mile                 # Options are 'mile' or 'km'

to

group_distance     = km                 # Options are 'mile' or 'km'

This did the trick. I completely ignored/overlooked this section and corrected some other units as well.

Thanks!
