Weather position

I cant get the weather position to be accurate on my Forerunner 265s. I tried to update the position with gps (on watch), but it still not accurate. It shows a place 30km away. (I can't find a way to set it manually either).Why is it so?

Garmin mostly uses airport weather stations as their data source, so they can be indeed easily 30km away. The location can be set manually in Settings » User Settings » Weather Location, but again only to the closest airport (in most cases). And on some models of the last generation, this setting is not available, but you can add several locations in the settings of the Weather Widget directly on the device.

That make sense, thank you! Im not able to find that setting on watch. Im sure I`ve found it before.... but the only setting I can choose is to update the location by GPS..

As I wrote, the Weather Location option is no more available on the last generation of watches (including FR265). You can only add additional weather locations in the menu of the Weather Widget - scroll to it and long-press the Menu button.
