Problem with Weather forecast

There’s a problem with Openweather’s api not accepting certain api keys. In the meantime, you could try another weather module. There are many.

Well… Yesterday I submitted a patch to hack the situation with the new accounts in OpenWeather.

If you can test it will be great!

Hi Roramirez, brother, it worked! but the day of the week, which should show “Monday” “Tuesday” “Wednesday” … shows everyone how “Sunday” to solve?
Thank you so much…

Hello, I have exactly the same problem and I am trying to use your patch Ramirez. However, I am coming from the “mechanical world” and I’m new to Linux and GitHub. Could any of you write me how to apply such a patch?

You have to edit your weatherforecast.js file. Go to the link for the fix. The line you see highlighted in RED has to be removed (or commented out) of your weatherforecast.js file. The lines you see highlighted in GREEN have to be added in your weatherforecast.js file. The line numbers on the left make it easy for you to find exactly where the edits belong.

Thank you Mykle1. Now the weather forecast shows up where it should be.
However, I have exactly the same problem what luizcarlosnery mentioned earlier. Today (Saturday) I see: Sat,Sat,Sat,Sat,Sat,Sun,Sun.

Sorry to hear that. Until the issues are resolved, you could always try another weather module. There are many to choose from.

You see the same day multiple times because this API is a “5 days/3 hour forecast API”, so you won’t get one result per day, but multiple forecasts for one single day with 3 hours between them.

E.g.

Result 1: "2017-09-24 00:00:00" Sunday
Result 2: "2017-09-24 03:00:00" Sunday
Result 3: "2017-09-24 06:00:00" Sunday

and so on

OK, it makes sense.
Is there any option to get only one forecast for one day? Or to display somehow the time periods?
