Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using the in build current weather view there are no units (celsius/fahrenheit etc.) displayed on the tag which can be confusing especially for the wind speed. At least on non segmented tags there would be enough space to display the units after the value.

The argument could be made that the user knows what units are in use as they configured it, but then this is still not the case for people visiting.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally the corresponding units would be shown directly behind the value they belong to. This could be made optional. The temperature unit could be displayed smaller.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Also it would be possible to only show the unit for the wind speed and for the temperature only add the ° symbol. (I almost like this solution more)

Additional context
Depending on if this is wanted functionality and how complex the underlying code is I might be able to implement this myself and open a PR in the future - please let me know :)

Sounds useful. Feel free to add it, it's not very complicated (it's rendered in contentmanager.cpp)

Is there an easy way to check whether I need to udpate the templates for the different tags due to spacing/clipping? E.g. generating the current weather view for each template or something of sorts?
