Display Weather Tile in Celsius - Guide
Switching to Celsius on the Windows 8 Weather Tile
Many individuals find Celsius to be a more intuitive unit for temperature measurement than Fahrenheit. If you are among those who prefer Celsius, altering the display on your Windows 8 Weather Tile is a straightforward process.
Accessing Regional Settings
The initial step involves navigating to the regional settings within Windows 8. This is where you can customize various display preferences, including the temperature format.
To begin, open the Control Panel. You can typically access this by searching for "Control Panel" in the Windows search bar.
Configuring Temperature Units
Within the Control Panel, locate and select "Region". This will open the Region window, presenting options for customizing regional formats.
In the Region window, click on the "Additional settings…" button. This will reveal a more detailed settings panel.
A new window will appear. Select the "Temperature" tab.
Selecting Celsius
Under the "Temperature" tab, you will find a dropdown menu labeled "Format". From this menu, choose "Celsius".
Once Celsius is selected, click "Apply" and then "OK" to save your changes.
Verifying the Change
Return to your Windows 8 Start screen and check the Weather Tile. The temperature should now be displayed in Celsius instead of Fahrenheit.
This adjustment will affect temperature displays throughout Windows 8, not just on the Weather Tile. It provides a consistent and preferred viewing experience for users who favor the Celsius scale.
Adjusting the Weather Tile to Show Celsius
Begin by navigating to the Start Screen and opening the Weather application.
A right-click or tap anywhere on the screen will reveal options. Look for the "Change to Celsius" button, typically located in the screen's lower right corner, and select it.
The current temperature reading should then be updated to reflect the Celsius scale.
Closing the Weather app or returning to the Start Screen will confirm that the temperature display has been changed.
This completes the process of switching the weather tile to display temperatures in Celsius.
