Yeah so this is a new thing....for a long time, the values were all the same and WeatherZone (where things are currently scraped from) said 'Weather Data from the BOM'.

At some point, not completely sure when, they changed this to a BS phrase along the lines of 'some weather data from the BOM'.  And I too have noticed in the last few months that the WZ temp & forecast data is no longer spot on.

But, fortunately....in the meantime, the BOM finally have a new 'places' system - e.g. http://www.bom.gov.au/places/vic/ascot-vale/ -although it is still in beta at this point.

So...I have started a re-write to scrape from there instead.  But it means quite a bit of work, and I'll have to write some sort of migration system, or at least force everyone to re-configure the addon from scratch when the time comes to release that.  Also, there isn't quite as much data on those pages, so a few things will be lost...so a bit of skin work to clean up too...but at least the data will be bang on again, and definitely 100% all from the BOM forever more.  Not hard, just a bit of a PITA.  The BOM pages are much easier to scrape at least, a lot more structured than the shitty WZ code is.

I've started the work, but not quite sure when I will have time to finish...but definitely in the 'weeks' category rather than days....sorry.    I was kind hoping it would fly under the radar for a bit but I suppose someone had to point it out @Jetson  -thanks!  Wink
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:
OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a *full debug log*.
