Units, currencies & weather

Convert 237 built-in units, 166 live fiat currencies, and look up the weather for a place you type.

Conversions are written as plain lines: 10 km to meter — in works just as well (10 km in meter).

Unit conversions

The catalog holds 237 non-currency units covering length, area, volume, mass, time, speed, pressure, force, torque, energy, power, flow, viscosity, temperature and fuel economy, plus generated plural and SI-prefixed forms. Expressions may mix units:

20 km to meter        20,000 m
250 km to m           250,000 m
100 C° to F°          212 F°
34 C° to F°           93.2 F°
500 g to oz

Unit results keep their unit in the answer column, and unit-bearing values keep their unit when reused (see Variables & functions).

The Unit catalog lists every id, alias, SI prefix and dimension, and Units & quantities documents the whole syntax, including the phrase patterns:

90 km / 3 day         30 km/day
10 km in 45 min        0.2222 km/min
2.5 kg at €3 per kg    €7.50
200 g of flour to ml   378.6 ml (≈)

Currency conversions

166 ISO 4217 fiat currency codes with live rates. All three spelling styles are accepted — codes, symbol forms and English names:

$500 to EUR
10 EUR to USD
$100 in EUR
10 Indian rupees to Japanese yen

Note: crypto assets and precious metals are not included — fiat only. Rates come from the free open.er-api.com service (no API key) and refresh hourly; the last good table keeps serving when you are offline.

The Currency reference lists every code, alias and marker.

Weather

Use any of the five strict, case-insensitive forms below. The first two return the current temperature; high and low return today’s high and low; feels like returns the current apparent temperature. Every result is in Celsius (shown as C°):

weather in <place>
<place> temperature
high in <place>
low in <place>
feels like in <place>

The lookup goes to Open-Meteo with no key and no location permission — only the place you typed is ever sent; Numlex never accesses GPS or location. One last-good response per place supplies all four measurements, stays cached for 600 seconds and then refreshes in the background; offline the last reading remains available.

Geocoding-based place lookups and distance are documented in Live data & geography.

Offline behavior

All plain calculations, dates, variables, sections and unit conversions work fully offline. Currency and weather lines use their cached values until a fresh lookup is possible.
