Inches?[edit]

History: 15:22, 26 October 2007 Rodw (Talk | contribs) (3,423 bytes) (switch ins & mm in rainfall) (undo) Why was that done? It is in the WP:MOS that units should be consistent throughout (i.e. metric (imperial) or vice versa). Rainfall is almost entirely in mm nowadays anyway. I think it really should be switched back. 86.146.142.35 (talk) 15:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was switched because the pages on which the box appears eg Somerset are in imperial(metric). This is allowed under MOS as set out on Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Units of measurement where it says "For UK-related, the main units are either metric or imperial (consistently within an article)." for a long discussion see Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Use of metric units in UK-related articles.— Rod ^talk 17:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the article is Metric first the rainfall units should also be metric first. This would be consistent with the source quoted, the rest of the infobox and the rest of the article. Michael Glass (talk) 02:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to metric first. However, as the source is metric only it may be appropriate to consider dropping the conversions. Michael Glass (talk) 03:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

jul/aug colour[edit]

Following the comment at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Somerset, I've amended July colour to equal August, which I think must be what was intended. Please correct if wrong! PamD (talk) 07:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
