Temperature Unit

Choose your preferred temperature unit for all accuracy data displayed in the platform:

  • Fahrenheit (°F): Default for US-based users
  • Celsius (°C): Standard for international users

Changing this setting immediately updates all temperature-related metrics, error values, and thresholds across the platform.

Default Market

Select your primary market segment:

  • Consumer Weather
  • Weather Data & APIs
  • Enterprise Weather Intelligence
  • Government & Research

Your default market determines which competitive segment is pre-selected when you open any analytics or market position screen. You can always change the market on individual screens without affecting this default.

How Settings Are Stored

Your settings are saved to your browser’s local storage, so they persist between sessions on the same device. If you switch browsers or devices, you may need to reconfigure your preferences.

Tips

  • Set your default market to match your primary competitive segment for the most relevant initial views
  • If you work across multiple markets, consider using “All Markets” as your default and switching as needed
