Weather always wrong

I live in Albuquerque NM, and the weather updates incorrectly on my iphone. It thinks it's night when it's the middle of the day and the temperatures are always wrong. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix? Thanks.

The weather updates are provided by Yahoo and their servers.

I notice the same on occasion. I track the weather in the city where I live (obviously) and in a city that is 100 miles away. This morning, my city showed that is was nighttime while the city 100 miles away showed that is was daylight correctly. This was corrected with the next weather update.

I haven't noticed the temperatures being wrong, or significantly wrong I should say.

it's a nice little app for quick reference.

I rely on weather alot. When I'm on the road, I have to view weather on the web, and with E-Card, it is verrrrrry slow.

I would like to see a more feature-rich app that includes radar, etc. in the future......

You might be interested in this web app, if you aren't already using it.

Weather info is provided by the Weather Channel and includes radar, etc.

For the U.S., this includes:

City Radar (limited availability)
State Radar
Regional Radar

Thanks for the help. I'm using version 1.1.4 and when I check the weather from yahoo, it differs by as much as 20degrees from what my iphone is saying. Also, it seems to switch randomly between night and day.

I wish the iPhone gave a scroll down hour by hour weather, it would fit into the iPhone scheme perfectly

I had the same problem, so I deleted the weather for that area and then re-entered it and the temp was correct. It was off by 12 degrees at first.

I live in Sarasota FL, and it seems since the update to 1.1.4 that the weather,temps, day/night are messed up sometimes. Other times it appears to be working fine later on....

Hope this gets fixed, werever the problem is....

Oh, btw, I have restored 1.1.4 without anything else from the backup and it still messes up....

Otherwise, so far v1.1.4 seems to have been the best update for me.

It is definitely a problem. It is not a little off. It is off for my city by 30 degrees at times and says it is raining when it is clearly not. I will also try the erase and re-add the city. I've never had a problem on the Mac's weather widget. I love the feature so hopefully it will get fixed.

Make sure that the entire city/state combo is correct. I had the same problem with my fair city, until I realized that when I added the entry is was for the same city name but in a different state!

i havent noticed the temp issues but in the later afternoon and early morning the 2 locations i have set which are basically the same for sun rise/set some times are a few hours off, but im not using it really frequently but i do notice the issue on the dash board app that uses the same place to update.

that web app will help me a lot though, i like TWC better that the other thing apple normally uses

I tried several web apps looking for the perfect weather forecast source. I settled with this one. I know when at my home, the temperature shown almost always matches my own outside thermometer. It offers motion radar, moon phases, special weather bulletins when necessary and a day by day forecast. I highly recommend it. The formal name of the provider is "Weather Underground" for what that is worth.
