      Inaccurate temperatures. I am in San Antonio Texas USA where it is 22 f. You are reporting 28 f. What do you rely on?

      Also all forecast temps for the next two days are way above expected except for icon.

      Are you not that reliable for local temperatures?

      Thanks,

      Roger Peebles

        @hydroweb "you" is the wrong term my friend. Windy visualizes multiple forecast models - they do not create forecasts. They have no control over what a model outputs. Sometimes guidance models are just wrong - the atmosphere is crazy complex.
        My advice is to use the "compare forecast" feature to gain some perspective on what different models are showing for your particular location.

        Hope that helps!

          As @Wheats explains, Windy is not “reporting” temperature unless you select Reported temperature in the Points of Information list. These temperatures are the ones observed at weather stations and clicking one of them allow you to compare which was the best model during the last days.

          As displayed on the website, not in the mobile app.

            There is a glitch in the Observation vs forecast panel when temperature is set in °F. The error between reported temperature and temperature forecast is expressed in °C ! Not very useful for those using imperial units.
