When we check the calendar in Microsoft Outlook, the default weather temperature often displays in Fahrenheit. However, for those of us accustomed to the Celsius scale, this can be an inconvenience. Luckily, Outlook provides an option to change this setting so the weather temperature aligns with our preference.
To ensure our use of Outlook is tailored to our needs, adjusting the temperature scale to Celsius is a straightforward process. It’s a simple change that can be done within the application’s options, enhancing our experience and making sure that the information we receive is in the format we are most comfortable with. Let’s take a look at how this adjustment can be made within Outlook’s settings.
