Beautiful Widgets weather not updating

same problem here hasn't loaded the actual temp in a couple days now.

says its 91 right now at 4 a.m. here and its like 68
 
i wish the develop put a "last updated time" on the weather page. (like the htc sense). then at least we know if it's working and how uptodate is the info.
 
I guess I'm not going crazy! I tried removing and adding the widget, clearing data, then uninstalling/reinstalling to no success. Still telling me it's 91 in DC. I really use this widget a lot and I hope it gets fixed soon. As one of the most popular paid apps/widgets on the market, this really should be a priority to the dev.
 
The iGoogle gadget gets it's weather info from "Weatherunderground.com", so that means that's where the phone gets it's updates from. Mine has been screwed up also for a while.

Oh well....

That's odd... the site has accurate info for my location (Atlanta) but the phone is still showing the same hi/lo temps as yesterday and a current temp of 91. Its actually in the mid-70's right now. I noticed last night that the conditions icon changed from "clouds" to "moon" after some rain showers.

yup i checked the site too but still not accurate in the widget.
i also noticed the correct condition icon was updating. just the actual temp is wrong :(
 
I also noticed my temperature has been stuck at 93 deg the past couple days :(

Is there a place where we can submit a formal bug report? Does the BW developer even know this thread exists? He probably doesn't realize this many people are affected by it
 
Mine in Nashville TN says it's sunny and 95 and it's actually raining and about 76. Has been this way for a few days.
 
Glad this was posted...I thought there was something wrong with the way I set up the widget.

Sounds like BW needs to get its weather for a more reliable source
 
I've been using BW weather instead of the Weather channel widget since the WC was draining my battery so much. It's so frustrating that BW is not working!! Mine has been stuck on 81 for days now.
 
It's been thunderstorming for 4 days when it's sunny and hot, only on the widget. If i click on it, it brings me to the 5 day forecast, which shows the current weather accurately. So it's something with the widget..

Tried ignoring it but that's not working either!!
 
I use Weather Forecast Widget and it's been 87 for a few days now. It doesn't appear to just be BW, must be wherever Google grabs the info from?
Just adding to the "it's broken" list :)

the HTC weather shows accurate info. not sure if it's pulled from the same place or not.

edit: i just shot 'em an email
 
Right on. I changed Green Bay to my location and saw the same wrong information on my computer that is displaying on BW. Then I went to google and searched for weather and the first thing displayed is...you guessed it, the same wrong information. Google is the problem here.

BW gets it's weather info from Google. It's not the developer's fault that the data isn't correct, he's just a middle man in this case.

Here's the string my BW widget is using to lookup weather information...
