2 years ago - When you are accessing the
currentattribute (the forecast for the current day), the API returns a temperature attribute. (source) - Otherwise, when you are accessing an element of the
forecastsattribute (an array of forecasts for a few days), The API only returns the lowest and highest temperature. The library rounds up the two ends as the approximate temperature. (source)
I've been finding the temperature data to be inaccurate.
For example: New York City, NY's temperature (according to python-weather) is 66 degrees Fahrenheit (as of 3:47 PM on March 19th), while python-weather returns:
61 [CURRENT TEMPERATURE] 2022-03-18 00:00:00 Partly Cloudy 59 2022-03-19 00:00:00 Partly Sunny 56 2022-03-20 00:00:00 Cloudy 51 2022-03-21 00:00:00 Sunny 51 2022-03-22 00:00:00 Mostly Cloudy 47
As you can see, neither the current temperature nor the entry for today's date (March 19th) match the temperature readout from other sources, let alone each other.
Is this an issue with the data source?
