      Hello, I pay for the Point Forecast API, we use the data to improve our agricultural production, so the values ​​need to be correct and as accurate as possible, but I noticed a very large inconsistency in the temperature of the city of São Paulo, lat: 23.5489 lon: 46.6388.

      When searching the API with these parameters:
      {
      "lat": 23.5489,
      "lon": 46.6388,
      "model": "gfs",
      "parameters": ["temp", "cape", "ptype", "dewpoint"],
      "levels": ["surface", "1000h"],
      "key": "secret key"
      }

      the ts value: [

      Searching for the current time that I am sending this message 12:00 UTC-3 15:00 (UTC) we would have the 3rd position of the array index 2 (1744902000000) and the equivalent value in the temp-surface would be (302.03165707353776) K

      Since I am in Brazil, I need to convert to Celsius, which would give me an approximate value of 28.881657073538 °C. But when comparing this temperature with what is shown on your official map, the value is not the same. You present the temperature as 25 °C, which is a considerably different value from what is presented in the API.

      I would like to know why this difference exists, if it is supposed to be like this, and if so, a prediction of when this could be resolved.
