In the setting section where we set temp F or C, it would be helpful to be able to also set 24 hour clock or AM/PM clock

Is that the web interface? I ask because it is always correct in the apps on Android and iOS but never the web for me.

if you want it to work on the web you will have the tinker with your language settings in windows. instead of US-english I had to choose UK english, which kind of worked for what I wanted.

Yes, I would like to see here at the settings ([Tempest Settings](https://tempestwx.com/settings)) of [Tempest](https://tempestwx.com/station/33475/) that I can set time always and everywhere in 24-hour format.

Does it currently follow the local system’s time/I8N preferences? If not, that may be the better request, so that nothing needs to be set at all…

actually it tries to follow the webbrowser language settings, which isn’t the same as the preferred time setting. So it would be good if this was implemented. There are settings for temperature, pressure, windspeed, rain, but not for the time. Seems easy to add.

12/24 time would be a nice option to have; I just added that to the next release of “Weather Station Data” for ROKU.

I don’t think this is a hard thing to accommodate.  
From a combination of calls I already calculate 24hr time and CONVERT it to 12 hour time. I’ll add a toggle to let the user choose 🙂

GOOD IDEA

Might as well add a setting for Zulu Time also while you’re at it.
