Changing the source of information (backend)?

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to get minimal, maximal and current temperature for Zagreb. But no matter which way I try to get it, it simply doesn’t make sense. In #491 you say ‘Use v2.wttr.in for more accuracy.’ Currently it is +3C according to the site, but the minimal and maximal temperatures for today are +5C to +15C. The real low for today was +2C. I’m not sure which api you’re using but I checked with wego and here is what those sources state:

backend	min	current	max
worldweatheronline.com	7	3	15
darksky.net	2	8	11
openweathermap.com	4	4	10

Am I better off just scrapping a local news weather report?

curl 'wttr.in/Zagreb?format=v2'

@MasterMedo I agree with you that the backend wttr.in is currently using is pretty inaccurate, and we consider making it configurable (see #523, #526). We already started using OWM in some views (it is used in the v3 view, for example), but the plan is to make the backend configurable. Can you please take a look, does v3.wttr.in seem to be more accurate?

@rawho Rahul, this issue is pretty hard to start from; I suggest you considering one of these ones:

https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3Aone-line

It is the one-line mode, and it is probably the easiest to start from. Could you please take a look at https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/blob/master/lib/view/line.py and try to understand the code?

I close this as a duplicate of #523 and #526
