Weather for Australia

Good Morning All,

I have been using a number of really nice watch faces but all appear to suffer from the same problem when it comes to displaying weather details. I’m in Sydney, Australia, and it is very often way off. In fact pretty much every morning it would generally appear to be a day off, as in behind. I’ve tried to get clarity as to where the weather data is coming from but haven’t been satisfied I’ve found that yet.

By way of example, right now, 8:45am on December 27th, my watch face tells me it is 22 degrees but my Australian Weather App on my phone says 23.5. (I could kind of live with that I guess.) But my watch forecasted low is 20, high 24, but the reality is it is a low of 18 and a high of 30. Both say clear sky but that could be a fluke. So it is pretty useless. What typically happens is that later today, maybe around midday, it seems to eventually get it right, or at least closer.

I can’t help but wonder if this is a time zone thing but the firecast doesn’t reflect yesterday’s temperature either. I’d appreciate any thoughts or help as it is the same whether using Facer Watch Faces or standard Samsung, (I have an Active 2), faces. So obviously the problem lies at the source of the weather information it seems.

It has been said on Facer Community that the weather comes from Open Weather We have the same kind of issues here in North America as well. It’s never quite correct, but sometimes completely wrong.

It is pretty crap. No idea why they use it . Puts me in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
