Temperature error

[Taur10]

This just started yesterday I think, definitely not long ago, most certainly I noticed it yesterday.

I've checked the obvious variables, made sure they were accurate, and they are, so I'm a little flummoxed as to where to look for the problem.

Any errors in the terminal on conky startup?

Also, show me the content of the files ~/.cache/weather.json and ~/.cache/forecast.json.

I am getting the same error. When I cat those two files, it does show the abnormally high temperatures in both. But the location was set correctly, it shows the city name properly when I cat the caches.

[zagortenay333]

Show me the output of cat...

[Shadow12347]

I intentionally did not post the output because I would rather not broadcast my location to world lol... What are the fields you are looking for? I can just post those.

[zagortenay333]

Well just delete the name of the city from those files. :smile:

Does the terminal output any errors?

[Shadow12347]

No none:

conky: desktop window (20001b) is subwindow of root window (273) conky: window type - normal conky: drawing to created window (0x1a00001) conky: drawing to double buffer conky: forked to background, pid is 23677

[zagortenay333]

Ah, did you change the units to default by any chance. If so, you are getting the temp in kelvin. :smile: Change it back to metric or imperial.

[Shadow12347]

Haha that's funny! I did actually change it to default, but the reason I changed it to default was because on imperial it was doing the same thing, and I was wondering if it would change anything, but it didn't. But switching back to imperial left me with the same results, it is still displaying in Kelvin.

[zagortenay333]

You might need to kill conky and start again a couple times to make it update the cache files. Or delete the cache files.

Imperial=fahrenheit metric=celsius default=kelvin

[Shadow12347]

Okay, that's weird, yeah it ended up working now! Before I changed it to default, I had it on imperial and it was displaying Kelvin, but after changing it back to imperial a second time, it updated and got the correct units. Thanks!

Cheers.
