Temperature Showing Real Feel For OpenWeather And Not Accurate

[HonestAbe7]

I have noticed the temperature in my location is not accurate. The AccuWeather website says a different temperature. Plus, switching providers doesn't change the temperature too. Definitely needs some work done here. I am starting to think I may need to find a different app but this one at least does give me weather notifications.

If you want the same temperatures as reported on AccuWeather website, use the AccuWeather provider, not OpenWeather ;)

I am hence my post 😁

You said "OpenWeather" in the title of your issue, but I also just noticed you said "switching providers doesn't change the temperature", it’s not switching providers that will change the temperature, it’s adding a new location from that provider that will report a different weather data. For instance, you can have both New York City from AccuWeather and New York City from OpenWeather in your location list ;)

Well, you can't add the same location twice because it says the location already exists.

In any case, I deleted my location and put it back on top of my locations list. Now it is all better. So is this a refresh issue or what?

To me, if I change the provider, other weather apps update the temperature to the other provider but this one doesn't.

I think the provider switch only changes the provider used for current position. Otherwise, a location is linked to its provider, see here an example with twice the same city with two different providers:

You can see in color which provider provides the weather data.

I did try to add OpenWeather and I did. The only issues is that I get an error messages saying, "Request weather data failed" message without any forecast

The default API key is not usable, too many requests. You need to add your own API key, see #223
