Widget forecast doesn't match app forecast
-
I noticed today that the widget wasn't accurate which is odd. So I open the app and the forecast inside the app was bang on. I tried refreshing the widget and even re-adding it but the widget was still wrong.
This is all using the HRRR model which is amazingly accurate in my area.

@hulakai update: I changed the location for the widget to my home location instead of "current location" and then the forecast matched the app. Then I changed the widget back to "current location" and it still matches.
I refreshed the widget several times before all this but it didn't correct itself until I cycled the location setting.
So it appears that even though the location showed as being correct in the widget, it wasn't updating. -
@hulakai Hi. If you refer to android -> widgets are using cache, the main application does not. This can cause these situations where widget shows slightly different data than the application. Cache is used to minimize data and power usage. We will consider changes to prevent these situations. Thanks for the report.
