      Hello, I believe I’m using the correct location id. I wasn’t able to go to the website that’s listed in the config, bulk.openweather.org, so I went to http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt. I’m trying to display the weather for El Centro California and the id on there is ‘5345609’ but weather still seems off.

        @Arod192 I am having the same issue. It shows a forecast, but that forecast doesn’t really match what the news calls for. Its off by like 10 degrees

            I suspect this is a problem with openweathermap. My temps and wind speeds have been incorrect for the last couple days as well. I didn’t change anything, just getting bad data. Last night the temp data I was getting over api did not match the weather data on their site - and today even the site-based weather info is off:

            http://openweathermap.org/city/5505411

            currently showing 34.9 F when it’s actually about 47 F.

            Try submitting a “Wrong data” report to openweathermap and hopefully it’s something they can straighten out soon.

              You can also substitute a different weather module that uses an alternate weather service. I think this one is my fav:

                  @in_a_days I am VERY GREEN to this coding and still haven’t figured out how to use github… not sure how to even add something new yet… do you know where is the easiest way to learn or have a video walkthrough… everything i have done so far has just been doing what i see. cant say i have learned what i am actually doing… if that makes sense??

                    I’m basically a newbie too. I haven’t seen any video tutorials for installing new modules. But this one I’m recommending has some very simple installation instructions. Feel free to send a PM if you want me to walk you through the process.
