Bug Description

When using Imperial unit display in version 0.2.0, the barometric pressure is displayed as hectopascals (hPa). At least in the U.S., it is much more common to display barometric pressure in inches of mercury (inHg). I found the conversion factor to convert hPa to inHg is 0.0295300.

For example, to covert 1008.13hPa mulitiply it by 0.0295300 to get the pressure in inHg (1008.13 x 0.0295300 = 29.77inHg).

1 mmHg = 101325 / 760 =(approximately) 1.3332 hPa.
So, 1011.85 hPa = (approximately) 759 mmHg.
