MagicMirror² is an open source modular smart mirror platform. With a growing list of installable modules, the MagicMirror² allows you to convert your hallway or bathroom mirror into your personal assistant.
While using the weathergov.js file from the MagicMirror2 codebase, I encountered an issue where the current weather wasn't being displayed properly. The root cause of the issue is on line 213, where currentWeather.precipitationAmount is set.
However, it seems that the weather API has changed its response format and it no longer includes the precipitationLastHour variable. This results in the currentWeather.precipitationAmount variable not being set correctly, which in turn causes the MagicMirror to fail to display the current weather when using weathergov.
Proposed Solution
To resolve the issue, I propose to use the precipitationLast3Hours variable, which seems to be the new format in the API's response. The updated line of code would be:

Issue Description
While using the weathergov.js file from the MagicMirror2 codebase, I encountered an issue where the current weather wasn't being displayed properly. The root cause of the issue is on line 213, where currentWeather.precipitationAmount is set.
Current code:
currentWeather.precipitationAmount = currentWeatherData.precipitationLastHour.value;
However, it seems that the weather API has changed its response format and it no longer includes the precipitationLastHour variable. This results in the currentWeather.precipitationAmount variable not being set correctly, which in turn causes the MagicMirror to fail to display the current weather when using weathergov.
Proposed Solution
To resolve the issue, I propose to use the precipitationLast3Hours variable, which seems to be the new format in the API's response. The updated line of code would be:
currentWeather.precipitationAmount = currentWeatherData.precipitationLast3Hours.value;
I have tested this change locally and confirmed that it fixes the issue. I will submit a pull request with this proposed change.
