Thank you! 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.

Weather module displaying inaccurate data
Hey everyone, I just started building my Mirror this week and things are going rather well so far! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the open source project, super helpful.
I have noticed that my weather forecast/current weather module displays temperatures that are close 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.
This is my location:
https://openweathermap.org/city/5781004Currently, 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:
and on the website:
Here’s my config: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: '' } },
And module defaults config:
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",
Let me know if any more information is helpful. Thanks!
