The weather information is ROUGH I have to say the fact that my widget gives me one reading the app itself gives me a different reading and then the stock weather app has a third reading not even within 5 degrees of each other is SAD.

Weather in Timepage was rebuilt from the ground up in version 4.9 a while back so we're marking this request as complete: https://bonobolabs.com/new/en/timepage/4.9/
Forecasts are more accurate and far more detailed — UV, wind, humidity and rainfall — and weather now appears directly on your week and day views instead of being a separate trip. There's a redesigned Day Weather view with charts, hourly rain, snow, sunrise and sunset markers in your schedule, and new Weather widgets.
If there's something about the forecast you still miss, let us know.

Please add support for weather data from Yr.no. The weather information is often 3-4 degrees off... I'm living in Oslo, Norway.

Agreed, the weather feature needs work. I love that there is weather there — including this makes the dashboard view a great way to start my day, but I’d love to be able to customize the view a bit more and need more accurate weather data for it to be useful. I’m in Washington, DC, and — for example — it says it’s currently 87 degrees with moderate rain and in reality it’s well above 90 and clear. Maybe the app isn’t fetching current weather data frequently enough? It would also be nice to be able to select from a couple of weather sources as accuracy varies per location (but realize that’s probably more expensive to offer).

I’d also like to see the day’s forecast (overall high/low, precipitation %, humidity, etc.) along with current conditions in my today view.

Hi Roberto - mind letting us know where in the world you are located so we can investigate? We buy our weather data from Aeris, which is a very reputable and usually quite accurate. It does vary from place to place though, so we'd like to pass on any information to them so it can be improved. If anyone else here also experiences similar inaccuracies, please post your location and the problems with the data. Thanks!

Ben Hamey: Dear Ben, the data about the climate in Santiago, Chile is very bad. There are a difference between the real temperature and the temperature that show the app of 8 degress Celsius.

Ben Hamey: I find the weather report to be very inaccurate in Cornwall, UK, especially regarding rain. An option for a different source would be useful - I find Dark Sky to be a very accurate weather source. Thanks!
