When looking at single-strip.html from the sampler, there are only the 
cloud icons, but no precipitation icons. So it is not completely comparable 
with forecast_table.

Besides, an there is an empty line below the wind (km/h) line, which I 
guess to be for gust data. But WU does not provide gust. How to disable 
this line for WU? I don't get into the concept of selecting the data 
appriopriate to the forecaster. Although, there should be an overall 
directive of which data are provided, e.g. driven by #set $forecast_source 
= 'WU'

Your question about, what is wrong in single-strip.html?
The date line is missing.The table starts with hours. Next, there are three 
temp lines. The three temp icons have no descriptions. I interpret them as 
temp-max, temp, and temp-min. The data from day values are shown in 
temp-max and temp, those from night values in temp and temp-min. Is this 
the intention? 
After the empty gust line, I see wind direction icons followed by the cloud 
icons. That's perfect.
Then, the table ends with three text lines: POP %, precipitation in mm and 
snow in mm. Actually, the last line should only show, when needed, at least 
not now, here in August.
Curiously, in the vertical strip the date is present. But the cloud icons 
are double in size, so that the table gets huge. The rest of the content is 
identical to the horizontal strip. Both forecasts looks the same with 
Firefox, Safari, and Edge. I have no idea, why the date line is not shown 
in horizontal mode, but in vertical mode, and the cloud icon size differs, 
although both are absolutely identical, except of the orientation setting. 

Concerning the rain icons, I think, that there should be no rain icon, when 
POP is <=20% and/or the amount of precipitation is (close to) zero. This 
would be logically, or not?
