      Location issues after I returned from 1 week of travel.

      I am based in Dublin. I traveled to Texas with work last week, and since I've been home my location on the widget keeps reverting to show the weather where I was in Texas. If I click refresh on the widget it shows Dublin again correctly. Later on it will revert to show Texas again.

      What do I need to do to stop it reverting to Texas? I tried removing and replacing widget. And also restarting phone.
      Do I need to uninstall and reinstall app?

      Any suggestions?

        I've noticed that that the location in the widget is displayed correctly sometimes but the displayed temperature is from the other country I visited. You would not realise this except the other plafe is very hot so 20c+ difference.

        Hmm... Something definitely not right here. Bug..

          One more update which might help the developers reproduce and address.

          I uninstalled the app from my phone and reinstalled fresh. The issue still exists so this is something that is cached in my profile rather than the app itself.

            @mcgon Hello, what type of widget do you use, also, what phone type?

              I recently moved from New York to London, and I've noticed that my calendar app keeps reverting to show events based on my previous time zone. Even though I have updated my device's time zone settings to London, the calendar app still displays events in the New York time zone. I've tried refreshing the calendar and restarting my phone, but it doesn't fix the issue. Should I uninstall and reinstall the app, or is there another solution to ensure the calendar shows events based on my current location?

                @gavinbrody Hi, do you talk about the Windy or any other app on your device?

                  @Korina sorry for delay. I was away in the US again. Not in Texas this time. I'm back in Ireland and location in windy widget still defaults to Texas. If I click refresh in the widget it finds my location in Ireland instantly.
                  I'm using pixel 7 pro in latest standard Android update. I'm using standard widget.. Image attached.

                      The question is... Why does my location keep reverting to a country and place I have not been in for weeks. I've uninstalled app etc. Where is it cached on my profile and why?

                            I'm based in Dublin, but when I traveled to Texas for work, the weather widget started displaying the weather for Texas instead of Dublin once I returned home. It's puzzling because even after clicking refresh on the widget, it correctly shows Dublin, but later on, it reverts back to displaying the weather for Texas. I've attempted troubleshooting steps like removing and replacing the widget and even restarting my phone.

                              @KobeSergio May I ask if you have the latest version of the app? Also which device do you have?
