Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the open source project, super helpful.</p>
<p dir="auto">I have noticed that my weather forecast/current weather module displays temperatures that are <em>close</em> to the weather for my city in openweathermap, but not really accurate. Some of the temperatures match what the website has, but most don’t.<br />
This is my location:<br />
<a href="https://openweathermap.org/city/5781004" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">https://openweathermap.org/city/5781004</a></p>
<p dir="auto">Currently, my mirror says it’s 35.5* F, but the website says 44.5*F, which is more accurate. I have changed the module to update every minute instead of the default 10, but it doesn’t seem to be changing. Here is what it looks like right now:<br />

and on the website:<br />
<img src="http://i.imgur.com/l0WTXof.png" alt="Website Weather" class=" img-fluid img-markdown" /><br />
Here’s my config:</p>
<pre><code>			module: 'currentweather',
			position: 'top_right',
			config: {
				location: 'Cottonwood Heights',
				locationID: '5781004',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: ''
			}
		},
		{
			module: 'weatherforecast',
			position: 'top_right',
			header: 'Weather Forecast',
			config: {
				location: 'Cottonwood Heights',
				locationID: '5781004',  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org
				appid: ''
			}
		},
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">And module defaults config:</p>
<pre><code>	defaults: {
		location: false,
		locationID: 5781004,
		appid: "",
		units: config.units,
		updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 100, // every 10 minutes
		animationSpeed: 1000,
		timeFormat: config.timeFormat,
		showPeriod: true,
		showPeriodUpper: false,
		showWindDirection: true,
		useBeaufort: true,
		lang: config.language,
		showHumidity: false,

		initialLoadDelay: 0, // 0 seconds delay
		retryDelay: 2500,

		apiVersion: "2.5",
		apiBase: "http://api.openweathermap.org/data/",
		weatherEndpoint: "weather",
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">Let me know if any more information is helpful. Thanks!</p>

This one does seem more accurate. At least, it’s pulling the same temps from the website, though I still think they’re off compared to my own thermometer… haha.</p>

<p dir="auto">I used the 3rd party module MMM-forecast-io, which uses the Drak Sky weather API instead. Easy to setup and better data!<br />
