The unit conversion happens in the grabber scripts, not the
MythWeather plugin.  It's possible that the MythWeather plugin is
using cached values, resulting in the issue you describe.

If unexpired cached values exist in ~/.myth/MythWeather/*/cache-*, the
plugin will read these verbatim and not perform conversions... the
proper values are expected to be cached.  What we may need to do is
when one re-configures the MythWeather plugin to use different units,
the plugin should purge any cached data for the given grabber.
