I think the following are correct:
m/s for wind speed
compass heading, in degrees, for wind direction (may be "traditional"
heading [e.g., north west] in some cases)
hPa for barometric pressure
�C for temperature
no unit for humidity, just %
mm for rainfall, cm for snowfall
You may get some corrections to these from our overseas friends. <g>
