Weather is always "mist" and 10 degrees off in the weather widget on Fenix 6

Hi,

my widget always says it is mist outside and around 10 degrees lower than it actually is. The forecast for next hours is accurate, only the main widget is completely off.

This is Fenix 6. I already tried a hard reset, I have locations turned on and synced to device. It says the data are two minutes old at the bottom on the widget entry, so it should be fine.

I did see a lot of weather widget posts here that it is off, but they weren't very recent.

What's up with that? This is already fourth Fenix 6 on my wrist, the three before all had different issues.

Software version is 15.20

You are on the forum for the Instinct watch here, so not the best place for asking about Fenix 6. However, in the settings (at least at Instinct), you can adjust the location for the weather widget, so check whether it is not set incorrectly. Or set it up to some other location just to test what diffence it makes.

actually when I looked now, for two seconds it was correctly 13 degrees celsius and in 2 seconds it jumped back to mist and 6 degrees... wtf. I'm gonna repost to fenix, thanks

I wonder, how is this possible? The only widget option I see is for toggling the temperature unit between Celsius and Fahrenheit. Where would I look for location settings?

Location settings are in the garmin connect app, you can manipulate it there.
