Please sync your Approach S40 through the Golf APP and see if your weather shows more accurately again. If you have the Connect Mobile APP installed too, please manually sync in the GCM APP too.

For all…

Well that didn't last long.

Connect running in background and temp is way off, if what it says was actual temp I'd be playing golf

Have sync app numerous times

One thing on my end......with the connect app staying open in the background I also have the weather location pull from my phone location and not a fixed location under user settings. this may help if you're having issues.

I've tried keeping the app on and setting manual location, but the weather is very wrong.... It says 90 degrees, and I'm looking out the window at snow, haha. It's wrong even immediately after sync with either the golf app or the connect app. It doesn't seem to ever be correctly updated.

I just noticed that the Connect app keeps resetting the weather location to "phone location" instead of "fixed location" after I set it. I don't allow Connect to use the GPS, so this may be the issue.

When I looked at my Android notifications control panel "Weather" was turned off. Turning it on and resyncing fixed it. I'm using an S62 and Android 11

My s42 is not showing correct weather. I've tried both phone location and fixed location. Syncing, turning off/on, syncing more. Nothing works. Please add me to the list to be notified. I have now turned off the weather widget.

This thread is for the Approach S40 model, however I would like to investigate the issue you are having with your S42. I am sending you a private message.
