Weather Forecast - Low Temp Displayed in Wrong units about magicmirror HOT 17 CLOSED

I'm also using Imperial, but mine appears to be correct even though there is quite a spread between the high and the low. I compared with http://openweathermap.org/city and weather.com

from magicmirror.

Anyway you can post a shot of your weather widget? My temps are not matching up at all.

I should add the above screen shot is for Colorado Springs, US. The low is way off.

I'm in Santa Clara CA

from magicmirror.

Yeah, yours looks right. Out of curiosity, are you using lat/long or city name in config. js?

" q: 'Colorado Springs,US',"

from magicmirror.

        q: 'Santa Clara,US',

from magicmirror.

Could be an issue with my city. I changed to Santa Clara and it came up fine. Odd.

Thanks.

I'm having the same issues with Los Angeles weather. I've tried Los Angeles,US and Los Angeles,California both give the same 5 day incorrect High/Low Temps as compared to yahoo, weather underground, and apple weather. The strange thing is that the current temp displayed on the mirror seems to be accurate.

Here is the same day range listed on weatherunderground.com

If you use the openweathermap api you could check to see what the api feed sends to your mirror. If it is indeed an issue with the API, I would suggest reporting it to openweathermap.

Please let me know when I can close this issue.

Thanks. Is there a way to see the raw api data that I am receiving?

You could use the browsers web inspector, or just surf to the url:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data//2.5/weather?q=Baarn%2CNetherlands&units=metric&lang=nl&APPID=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE&cnt=5

Make sure to modify the parameters in the link above.

Thanks, that url returns the current weather, are you using this for the
forecast?

This url seems to return the correct forecast.

&cnt=5

you're right. sorry.... posted the wrong link.

Ok, so I see something.

In your code, you are using this url:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?id=5417598&units=imperial&appid=
&cnt=5

{"day":63.41,"min":31.37,"max":70.56,"night":41.77,"eve":62.76,"morn":31.37

This url returns completely different results then this url:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=5417598&units=imperial&appid=
&cnt=5

{"temp":57.13,"temp_min":41.58,"temp_max":57.13,

So it appears some odd rounding is happening in the code.

Here is the displayed data:

And here is the raw data:

Sun - Min is off by 3 degrees.
Mon - High is off by 2 degrees
Tue - High is off by 2 degrees.
Wed - High is off by 2 degrees.
Thu - Both Match
Fri - Both Match

@dpcarlton Sorry to say, but no... this is just rounding to one decimal place. 37.13 becomes 37.1 and 21.49 is rounded to 21.5.

from magicmirror.

You are right, sorry. When I looked at it yesterday I could have sworn it was off. No idea how I mis-read it. You can close this issue. I opened one with the api providers.

FYI, looks like you were looking at the "current" temps vs the Max temps and that was the reason for the difference.
