      I am in Adelaide South Australia. We’re going to have severe weather heat events. 45 degrees c +
      I am trying to search for Auburn SA which is a few hours drive from here. The app prefers searching in Washington State in the USA.

      I’ve done through all the Apple location settings they are correct. Windy uses GPS for startup location services are in for windy while using. I am in a hotel. The up address is in Perth. Which is on the opposite side of the planet from Washington state. If I use my mobile carrier Telstra, and turn off wifi. Same problem.

      This is a safety problem if location is unusable.

        Hi @banksiaboy

        You can help the search engine by putting "auburn aus" in the search bar to get your result. That's because of how the search engine works, not really a bug, but rather a suggestion.

        Many thanks!
