Version: 1.0 (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources When using LCD weather widget with bbcukmet plugin, it will always show rainy weather. City: ljubljana I checked the bbc page and it correctly displays forecast - probably a bug inside widget.
Confirmed, same here while it's a 100% sunny day and indicated as such by BBC
I looked at the code and the hack on the "p" variable does not work from line 170 in weatherstation.cpp Before if (p > 103.0) { current << "sun"; p is zero. If you give me some criterias on how you want it to work Petri I can fix it. Thanks for looking at it as a lot of users complained about it! Anne-Marie
it mimics a traditional barometer. it's not meant to show the "actual" weather but the direction of the weather changes (nicer or poorer weather). the weather applet that is *STILL* in playground is the one that does what people think ;) since this is intended behaviour and has an actual reason for it, it's a WONTFIX imho.
I disagree. The string displays "Current weather" above the picture of the weather. In my opinion it's just a matter of fixing the way the pic is shown. A lot of users have been puzzled by this behavior and this is a popular applet. I'll fix it.
the string "current weather" could be changed perhaps, but i really don't think changing the intended purpose of this widget is desirable. the weather widget does it "right" because that's what it is meant to do.
It doesn't do anything right - even if it is acting like a barometer it's doing it wrong. It always shows rainy weather, even when the parameters are changing from bad to good.
SVN commit 890430 by annma: Hectopascals is not in WeatherUtils::convert srcDir so the BBC pressure was converted from something that does not exist hence the always raining pic. Now should behave like a barometer, meaning that if it's raining but the tendency is "Rising" the pic can show a sun. This calculation though could be tweaked further.

I am using the Weather Widget on OpenSUSE Leap 42.2, running plasma5-addons 5.8.3-7.1. The panel display of the weather information has shown -7, -3, and 0 degrees C: the "near future" temperature shown in the mouse-over pop-up is 4 degrees C, which matches the Environment Canada reported temperature (I am using OWM as my weather data source). Ah, the reported temperature just jumped down to -5 C. Also, the precipitation icon has been on rainfall all day, yet today is brilliantly clear and sunny. Again, the mouse-over pop-up is accurate... oops, the mouse-over temperature is now showing -1 degree C, yet it is still 4 degrees C. on the Environment Canada website listing for Vancouver. These rapid changes and inaccuracies are clearly in error.
