I must be missing something.  What is the potential bug?  The temperature,
dew point, altimeter or sea level pressure, and cloud level time series
are always plotted with American units on the left and Metric units on
the right side.  The only part of the meteorogram that changes between
unit conventions is the visibility which is plotted as numerical values.

What am I missing in your comment?
