Stormy - Percent instead of Double

I'm not sure if this is the best way to do this... And I am definitely still learning. But I put together a quick bit of code to change the humidity and chance of rain figures in Stormy from Doubles into percentages.

I'm taking the currentWeather measurements and multiplying them by 100 and then expressing them as Int. It seems to work. I had looking into trying to write a NSNumberFormater type of thing, but that seemed a little over my head. Then all I did was update the UILabels for these fields to show the new percent values + a percent symbol.

What do you all think?

'''

            let precipStarterPercent = (currentWeather.precipProbability * 100)
            let precipPercent = Int(precipStarterPercent)
            // println(currentWeather.precipProbability)
            // println(precipPercent)

            let humidityStarterPercent = (currentWeather.humidity * 100)
            let humidityPercent = Int(humidityStarterPercent)
            // println(currentWeather.humidity)
            // println(humidityPercent)

'''

Here's how I put the new percentages into my existing labels with the percent symbol.

                '''self.humidityLabel.text = "\(humidityPercent)%"
                self.precipitationLabel.text = "\(precipPercent)%"'''

I guess this would be a more concise way of doing the percent code

'''

            let precipPercent = Int(currentWeather.precipProbability * 100)
            // println(currentWeather.precipProbability)
            // println(precipPercent)

            let humidityPercent = Int(currentWeather.humidity * 100)
            // println(currentWeather.humidity)
            // println(humidityPercent)
