I have a moto g and I'm wondering if there's a clock and weather widget that's actually accurate? I tried out a few yesterday and none of them were accurate.

Clock and weather widget that actually works.
- Thread starter crashhat69
- Start date
In what way were they not accurate? Wrong location, wrong current conditions, wrong forecast, etc?

Each of the ones I tried had the wrong temperature. I have the transparent clock and weather widget on my phone right now, it says the current temp is still 39 degrees when it's actually 45 degrees right now according to weather.com. Also, both the high and low temps are wrong.
update: I clicked on the widget to see if it would update, I went back to my home screen and now the current temp is 50 degrees.

We've got another thread here somewhere blaming the widgets.
I use Transparent weather by Droid27 myself.
Last week, the three weather APIs he using all blocked at once due to an overload - they've come back but still aren't right yet.
And mine said 39° this morning when I was peeling off my jacket and rolling up my sleeves.
It's just jumped to 60 and that's right.
It's not the dev or just his widgets, this is affecting a lot of others. I expect the situation to clear up before long.
AccuWeather, usually not the greatest, seems to have been stable throughout the drama - go figure.
Anyway - I always add alternative weather touches to the Transparent widget.
Fwiw, I like to have Radar Now from my date/month and Wunderground from the minutes. Sometimes my built-in AccuWeather but srsly, Wunderground is really good.
