      Hi, today I noticed a difference in the temperature being shown weather app on iPhone compared to my home weather station. My iPhone was showing-14C and the weather station showed —17C. So to confirm which temperature was right I opened windy app and it showed a big difference in temperatures for my location too. Wondering why there is a discrepancy, and what source the temperatures are taken from? Look forward to your reply. Many thanks.

      PS would have uploaded some screenshots to this post but unsure how, maybe someone can clarify.

        The temperatures you see with Windy are forecasted temperatures, not real time measure. You can therefore see differences with your own weather station or official weather stations, this is normal. It is important to chose the model which gives you the most accurate data

          @merlin55 Hello, as @Yves70 mentioned, forecasts are based on weather model (global and local). Learn more about weather models here.
