fēnix 7 series - weather widget bug

Hi, has anyone encountered incorrect temperature readings of the current temperature in the weather widget? I've seen this issue since my Fenix 5. My wife's 745 and my friend's 245 have the same issue... There will be something wrong with the data source since it's affecting different models. Location services and everything is set up correctly on my iPhone and the Fenix 7. I'll be glad if anyone can let me know if they experience the same problem or it is specific problem to my geographic region. Thanks!

The weather location on my Garmin wearables is taken from a town 60km away from my home location (no matter, what setting in gcm I enable for the weather location) and so I can’t trust this data (because they often not match/are false) Inoticed this, because my Edge 830 has exactly the same behavior/weather data and it is showing the weather data source (town name) where the weather is taken from (the wearables are not showing the location name).

Hi, thank you for your swift response. I tinkered around with the GCM app and found a way to set a different location for the weather widget to another city. Then, the Fenix 7 showed the correct current temperature for my chosen location. So, unfortunately, the data source for the current temperature for where I live has been incorrect for years.

Hi, yes it is Garmin Fenix 7 PRO Sapphire Solar - Carbon Gray with a black band. There is also the same model just with a black DLC coating.

How? Perhaps I missed/overlooked a setting in gcm?

Have already done this without success- will check it again. Maybe just a glitch…

I dont have that option. I have a Fénix 7 with the same problem. It is running the lastest software (15.78) without any solution.
