Weather app: GPS-local temp different from the same user-configured city
I have one city configured in the weather app, which also offers GPS-location weather.
When the GPS-location city is the same as the configured city, their temperatures never seem to match and can widely diverge. It's been like this since at least iOS 8.0 (and numerous power-cycling).

GPS-local temperature:
CONFIGURED CITY (same as GPS city) temp:
That's a six degree Fahrenheit simultaneous difference. It's really annoying.
Perhaps one or both of the following explains the difference:
(1) Maybe the weather app uses different temp databases for GPS-local weather and user-selected cities (maybe different temp locations within the same city)
If #1 is true: Apple, either use the same database for GPS and configured cities or describe/show the different database already used by the GPS and user-configured cities (e.g., airport, mid-city, uplands).
or
(2) Maybe the weather app accesses the same weather data for GPS-location and user-configured cities but refreshes data less frequently for one (the configured city seems to lag reality most). I've flipped between the two weather screens late at night to see if one displayed old data from the other and never observed this, though with only about 60% confidence.
If #2 is true: Apple, stop that; use the most recent data from the same temp database.
