      Hi, I've noticed the following inconsistency that seems a bit weird.

      Case 1: 15 day forecast with 3 hour interval (1h toggle off in the bottom left)

      • Every day starts at 2am, for some reason. Why not midnight, 0:00?
      • But then, on the 12th August, after the 7-day forecast is over, you see that the interval changes to a 6-hour interval, which starts at 5am. Again, why not 0:00 and then 0, 6, 12, 18?

      When looking at the comparison view, it's the same. Also, why is it only 5 days in the comparison view instead of 7 days as in the map/normal forecast view?

      Case 2: 15 day forecast with 1 hour interval (1h toggle on in the bottom left)

      • For the first 7 days, everything is okay because it shows all 24 hours.
      • But then again, after the first 7 days, the interval changes to 2 hours, and begins at 1am. It's a mess... Why not start at midnight? Why at 1am? Why is it different than above where it starts at 2am?

      When looking at the comparison view, it's like this:

      • In the 1h mode (different toggle, new one in comparison mode), the first 6 (SIX! Why not 7?) show all 24 hours correctly. Then the 7th day, which STILL should show all 24 hours, starts at midnight, then 2am, 5am, 8am, ... 23 - so we have a 2h-interval first, then a 3h-interval for the whole day until 11pm where it's just 1 hour left until midnight...
      • And then days 8 to 15 show the 3-hour interval, but starting at 2am. Again, why not midnight?

      • In the 3h mode, every single day starts at 2am from day 7 to 15, but notice that day 7 (the 11th August) is now the same as days 8 to 15 - unlike on the screenshot above where the 11th is different, which is yet another weird thing.

      Sorry, but this was not possible to explain without screenshots. I hope the confusion makes sense...

        @meiersa78 Hello, first of all with 100% honesty, I don't know how to start with this reply. Basically it is just set this way, some things could be adjusted but other are limited by the data, we get from the provider of each model.
