Connect weather bug: 0 degrees F displays as 32 F

Former Member over 10 years ago

When the temperature (or wind chill) is zero Fahrenheit, Connect displays it as 32 Fahrenheit.

See http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/685241645

(This may only happen when the temp is actually a fraction of a degree below zero and reported as -0F by the weather station.)

When I look at the activity linked above, it displays as -2° F.

Same here, -2F

Yep. It now shows -2F for me too - something got changed. My guess is the KALB weather station report got updated (which sometimes happens), in which case the Connect bug may still exist.

Or it means that the reporting station was screwed up, and GC was only showing the data it was given.

It could, but I've seen this problem before, after the weather data had been finalized for the historical record and showed a value of -0F that Connect displayed as 32F. As a retired programmer, this looks to me like a case of the unusual -0 value somehow causing Connect to interpret it as 0 Celsius and converting that to Fahrenheit.

Showing as -18.9 now :confused:

You are apparently viewing it with your units set to Celsius.

It still shows as -2 Fahrenheit, which is -18.9 Celsius.

True ....
