Weird Weather Forecast

I went to weather.com to check the conditions today and something strange is going on.

It's partly in German.

The line where you can see hourly and for the next ten day forecasts reads
Heute Stündlich 5 Tage 10 Tage Wochenende Monatlich Karten

Huh.

There's more:

There's a Lokale Pollenwarnung (pollen warning, as if I didn't know)

Today's gefülte is 58 degrees.

Jetzt conditions are Feuchte 59%, Taupunkt 44 degrees, Luftdruck 29.89 and rising, Sichweite 10.0 mi.

The Nächste 36 Stunden shows Today 68, Tonight 54, DO 80, DO Nacht 61, and FR 87 (these are obviously Fahrenheit temps, starting off in English then switching to German).

Has this ever happened to anyone else? Are they having fun with me because I refuse to turn off the adblocker?

to give German another try...

I saw the first season of The Man in the High Castle. It was good, but confusing. I can't always follow a story where the characters know and understand the whole culture, but the audience doesn't. After seeing that and Torchwood, it's hard to believe but I've heard that Burn Gorman is really nice in person.

Game of Thrones, and it gave me a bit of mental whiplash when I suddenly realized who I was looking at in Turn.

But if you watch the latter, you'll have no difficulty believing there's a nice guy hiding under all those well-done scary portrayals. Or maybe a deeply evil fellow who can fake it when the job demands...
