I would love to get some sort of locale agreement or (better yet) a toggle for the temperature unit!
The weather forecast being set 2-4 hours in the future is meant to be a feature. It tells you what the weather will be in a couple of hours so that you can make plans. Itās taking a bit of getting used to, but I think itās a cute touch.
While I underatand centigrade, to many people dont and I too would love to see the ability to convert to fahrenheit. I would also like the ability to have it show current conditions.
Iād really like to see localization here as well as options for how the weather widget should behave. Iād like to see what the weather is now where upon a click of sorts, I can find out forecast information. Itās not helpful to have a forecast of unknown characteristics on a status page.
I was able to get it to display Fahrenheit by fiddling with the settings in settings>personal info>locale:
Change locale to something random like English (world) and then change it back to English (US). After doing this a couple times, refresh dashboard and it should show up as Fahrenheit. See the image below.
The problem isnāt that locales are missing, itās that locales in that list are being ignored unless the userās locale is manually changed to one of them.
This indeed resulted in the temperature changing to Fahrenheit. Thanks!
However, the time listed is several hours ahead of local time (but not UTC time). Perhaps I donāt understand what the āā¦at 1:00 AMā means in the weather status app. Itās 9:30 PM locally.
Actually, the time & weather are supposed to be a few hours ahead of local time to show the forecasted weather (I still donāt really understand why). Thereās a relevant issue on github.
I was able to get Fahrenheit to show up in the widget, thanks to this thread.
But I feel the same way as others that seem puzzled by the decision to report the weather several hours in the future rather than present time, without any actual explanation or settings in the widget.
Since itās apparently meant to be a forecast, that could be displayed in a less confusing way. Even just adding the word āforecastā to the text in the widget would probably help. A configurable option to show current weather or forecast would be a nice feature addition.
The stated reason was that it was to allow you the ability to plan, which did seem a bit charming when it was 2-3 hours ahead. But 6 hours ahead is a little much. Iād sort of prefer if it locked to something like 6am, 8am, 12pm, 5pm, and 8pm or so.
I agree with others that the āfutureā weather is not that practical for me, but perhaps itās helpful to some. For my home server, I just modified per another userās post and made it show the current temperature. It was a simple āsedā modification to the āweather-status.jsā script. But I suspect that will get overwritten on updates later.
What I would like to see is a way to round the temperatures. I seldom see anyone show temps to 1/10th of a degree. Is that common in other languages, or with Celsius users? The other weather option (the āweatherā addon) even shows 2 decimal places, i.e. ā32.15 degreesā . . .
I think this is something that could be considered as outside the briefā¦most of us who use a tool like Nextcloud probably have the ways to manage our weather expectations. Maybe tell us the current conditionsā¦if I am unable to see outside and need to go somewhere, I want current conditions (is it raining now?) not what it will be doing 5 hours hence. Mine has a 5 hour offset which is useless.
