This is strange. Please add other station for example New York. And check up it.
Field "feels like" provide source of weather forecasts (weather.com)

Re: OMWeather Update available
 

Am currently running ver 0.19.3 When I try to update, I get the error message: "Unable to install. Software contains updates to packages installed from a different source and is likely to harm the system. Contact software author".

I assume I have a repository entry screwed up somewhere, but haven't a clue how to identify. Any ideas?

TIA.

You may have simply installed the original deb file from another place. I get that message if I had previously downloaded the deb to my tablet and then installed it.

Go into "Red Pill" mode before doing the upgrade. You will still be presented this warning but you will be allowed to procede.

I wouldn't worry about that really - the whole concept of 'feels like' is totally bogus anyway. It only makes some kind of sense if you stand naked in the wind or some such. I've been out there in -40 C (-40 F) and I can assure you that whatever warmer temperature +wind that is supposed to "feel like" -40 doesn't feel like that at all. Cold weather with wind has to be handled differently from cold(er) weather without wind.

That did it, thanks!

Re: OMWeather Update available
 

I added ny/ny, and have been monitoring it for a few days: haven't yet seen the real temp and "feels like" display different values, even with high values for wind and/or RH.

Checking with weather.com shows that *it* does show different values for the two temps.

Aha! It looks like the problem in OMW might be related to the F -> C conversion?

If I select Fahrenheit, I see 35F/25F for New York, but if I select Celsius, I see 2C/2C. Is the unit conversion using the wrong source value here, perhaps?

Re: OMWeather Update available
 

Hmm. I didn't observe it problem. Which version of OMWeather you have?

Re: OMWeather Update available
 

thanks Vlad.

I'm using 0.19.6, with Grzanka's 0.2 iconset.

I just removed, and then re-added US - New York - New York - using the menus, not as a custom station.

OMW says:

Now: 42F, Feels like: 37F

Now: 6C, Feels like: 6C

42F is 5.6C, 37F is 2.8C.

So it appears that OMW is showing the "Now" temp for both fields, when displaying Celsius units, but showing the two temps correctly when displaying Fahrenheit.

thanks...

Wow! I started this thread just to give folks a heads up about a new upgrade. Thanks for stopping in and your helpful replies vasvlad.

Since you are responding here to feedback and future feature requests I thought I would make mine known if you don't mind.
I reference a Doppler radar image for real time weather information. Would it be possible to add a configurable HTTP/FTP link to your detail/settings pop up?

CDMACKAY !!!!
