Change in getting Garmin weather observationTime?

Hello everyone.
Have you noticed a change in getting weather info from Garmin? Previously, Weather.getHourlyForecast() returned a list where the first occurrence was the forecast for the next hour. Now is the first occurrence of "forecast" for the previous hour. This can of course be bypassed programmatically. The change also occurred with the current getCurrentConditions(), where before the time was updated (observationTime) several times per hour, now the time is the same for an hour or hour and a half. Did I miss something new or do you have similar experiences?

Hmmm. Thanks for pointing this out. I grab Wx Station Temp for my calculations on estimated hydration rates. If I don't get an update in 90 mins, I invalidate the data as stale and resort to the EDGE device temp. I might increase my timeout to 2 hours. Do you know if you are getting updates and just the time isn't updated? Is this just one weather station or have you observed this for multiple stations?

Not long ago I noticed that observationTime had gone from about 20 minutes apart to 1 to 2 hours apart with Android. My app didn't change. Maybe the device FW, but I suspect the code in GCM that relays the weather as I see the same observationTime on different watches (on the same account)
