Need help interpreting Geometric Weather Info #463

I've attached two screehshots, I've circled the items I can't figure out what they're trying to tell me.

In the first screenshot, I've circled two items. The top item is a horizontal line labeled, "precipitation forecast" Don't know what the blue bar is tellling me.

The second item I circled in the first screenshot is at the bottome of the screenshot, it is a vertical line that says "0.1" at the top of the line, and "0.4" at the bottom of the line. What does this mean, and what does the length of the line mean?

In the second screenshot I've circled three items. The text at the top says to expect 12-20 cm of snow. That is up to 8 inches of snow. But, then in the other two items I've circled it amazingly says to expect only "1.6 inch" (!!!) of snow. Why do they not agree?

1) Precipitation bar: it no longer exists in the latest master, there is a new more understandable graph now 2) The total is given by AccuWeather, I don't know why the total is inferior to the snow, but it's a data issue, not Geometric Weather's. You can cross check with AccuWeather website and let us know of discrepancies

Thanks, but I don't understand your response.

When I look at https://github.com/WangDaYeeeeee/GeometricWeather/releases , the latest master shown is version 3.013, which is the version I have installed. But in version 3.013 - the latest master??? - it still shows the precipitation forecast bar. What is the "latest master" that you are referring to that you said no longer has the precipitation bar?

Here is what I see when I crosscheck Geometric detailed daily forecast against what is shown on the Accuweather web site:

  1. It appears for forecasted wind speed, Geometric weather is showing the wind gust, not the normal wind speed, and is calling that wind gust figure "wind speed", not "wind gust". (It would be great to see both, but if only one can be displayed, I'd rather see "wind speed".)
  2. For the nighttime forecast, Geometric weather appears to be picking up the snow total from Accuweather's Day forecast, instead of from Accuweather's Night forecast.

Sorry, maybe it's the dev branch actually.

I will look into your other issues later.
