      It's 101 degrees F here in Salt Lake City UT but the map says 62. I know it's in the 110s in Phoenix and 90 in Portland Oregon but the map says 95 and 50 respectively.

      This issue is on the temperature map. The Satellite map is correct.

        Update post:

        On second edit: The temps are 30 to 50 degrees lower than true temps. Temps east of Portland Oregon showed -22 in one check. I'll add a screenshot.

            Right now, here is what I see on the ECMWF forecast temperature map, with reports from surrounding weather stations,

              I've narrowed the problem down. My phone app shows the temps perfectly. Using my laptop and internet browser the temps are from very off to insanely off. I've deleted the windy cookie and re-logged in, but the problem remains. At least my phone is correct, but I prefer to use my laptop for wider scope and visual clarity.
              I can't figure this out and I would like to. I know it was not -22 below 0 F. in Portland Oregon yesterday and right now in Salt Lake City it's 92 F which my phone agrees with, but my laptop says 82 and the temperature flag says 71. The timeline is correct and I'm using ECMWF although all sources are also incorrect.
              Please help if you can. Thanks.

              I'd like to add that this is a new problem. It wasn't this way last week.

                One more bit of data.
                When going to the site the forecast model is ECMWS and the temps are far off. When I change to ICON or later models it refreshes something and the temps are correct. Switching back to ECMWS the temps stay correct. I have to switch models then return to get a correct reading.

                Not that I'll be hearing back from anyone about this, but I'll offer up my issue and Windy can decide if my experience is worth their time.

                  Hi @d7vector, maybe altitude was set differently? Can You post full screenshot to verify?
                  This is where altitude slider is located:

                    Thanks for coming back. The altitude was correct. JFYI, the temps seem to be working fine now. I'm not sure what happened, but I haven't seen anything strange today. I'll keep an eye out. :)
