Wrong temperature in weather widget

How is it possible a forecast min 0 / max 6 and an actual temperature of -3?!

  • 6 degrees during coming daytime, 0 degrees the night after that? Because you already passed past night when it is 8:17. I am just guessing...

  • Many weather apps reflect data like that.  It depends what period they reflect as the day , often times I notice a max or a min not in line with the expectation. remember one is an expectation , the other is a reality. So the expectation was a 0 but i reality it is lower.  Often temp are higher or lower than forecast.

  • It's not useful like this...current temperature can't be outside min/max range, regardless the time I'm reading it

    Garmin please fix this!

  • Current temperature and conditions CAN be outside forecasted ranges. Forecast is BEFORE the fact, current observation is AFTER the fact. I don't think Garmin can do anything about this. The watch just displays the data as it is from weather provider.

  • I believe one is a forecast , one is actual. Weather forecast is often wrong and sometimes the actual is outside the range in the forecast.

  • Note that in my case the photo was taken inside my house, so "-5°" is from weather provider too, not from the sensor. I think a good weather service should adjust their data with the ongoing conditions.

  • Your forecast may be for your immediate locality but the weather station used for the current temperature may be not be particularly local.

    My local weather station is for my city's airport, which is 15 miles away and at a much lower elevation.

  • Garmin please fix this!

    This has nothing to do with Garmin, it's the same on many (all?) weather stations.

  • If the current temperature comes from a sensor (like in a weather stations) it make sense.

    But in the weather section of the watch the all the 3 temperature values are forecasts and the current one shouldn't be outside min/max range imho.
