SI specifies no spaces between units for degree symbol. (see SI Brochure <https://www.bipm.org/en/publications/si-brochure>, 9th ed., 5.4.3) All major weather websites and apps prefer not to use a space when the percent unit is present. The Chicago Manual of Style has a FAQ on this which explains the convention and notes this common deviation from SI. <https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/qanda/data/faq/topics/Abbreviations/faq0097.html>

Justification:
