Weather temps are no longer accurate for my location.
-
Temps are off from 7 - 14 degrees. I presume this occured after your update. I have tried checking where
the location marker is but don’t see what else I can do to reset. Please advise. -
@wheresrobbie Could you please define the whole situation more specifically, please? About which location and forecast model do we talk about? There were no changes made according to data from forecast models in the last update.
-
My forecast model is ECMWF
I Have done nothing to change the settings.
Right now Wunderground correctly reports my temp as 73 degrees.
Windy reports 78 degrees.At 7am Wunderground correctly reported my temperature at 53 degrees.
Windy reported it at 63 degrees.
That sums it up! -
@wheresrobbie
My precise location is Eucalyptus Hill in Santa Barbara Ca.
Your reported temps now appear to be at the Santa Barbara Zoo. Always hotter.
This had never happened before. -
I would appreciate feedback please.

@wheresrobbie
Administrator where are you? -
@wheresrobbie Do you compare the same model in both sources? Can you please share the second source, as well as your precise location?

Windy does not report temperatures, but shows temperatures forecast from a weather model, unless you select a weather station.
You can change the default model and use a high resolution American model.
I don’t know what the other app do.
Then if your location is wrong, it is not surprising that the predicted temperature is wrong.
Do you use the Windy mobile app or the website? -

Windy mobile app on iPhone or on iPad -
@wheresrobbie
OK, so in Settings if you select Use GPS, your positon should be correct
However I’ve checked the distance between the zoo and Eucalyptus hill. It’s not so important to explain a large difference of temperature.
But the choice of the weather model is more crucial.
At your location I note the predicted temperature is in local forecast panel
GFS 81°F
ECMWF 75°F
Meteoblue 68°F
NAM 67°F
HRRR 69°FCompared with a nearby weather station, HRRR model seems to be the best for you location.
