OpenWeatherMap showing UTC time (not sunset) instead of CEST

[oneartur]

Hi,

I have a problem that I first saw with MMM-RAIN-MAP and using the open weather map API, the forecast clock was always two hours behind. Now with updating Weather module from weather forecast, I see the same behaviour in hourly forecast. Has anyone seen this?

The date command returns the correct time & date in the console.

@oneartur i don’t know. but what timezone is the MM running on?

[Jalibu]

Hi @oneartur,
please be aware, that MMM-RAIN-MAP’s radar layers are history data from -2h until now (no forecast!) ;-)

[oneartur]

@jalibu
Ohhh… that is interesting! So I guess it’s expected behavior then.

Do you happen to know where and how I could get forecasts?

[Jalibu]

@oneartur unfortunately no.
The module uses rainviewer.com API. The free plan only offers history data.

I started to play around with windy.com and had good results on my MacBook for development, but windy’s map rendering is so heavy weight, that it did not really work stable on the raspberry pi.

I also find it a pity, that MMM-RAIN-MAP does not provide a forcast. Let me know, if you find a free dataprovider to enhance that.
