After installing the 6.x dev version of this module on 3/18/2012, the module works great with one exception. The current temperature is off by 30 degrees. All temperatures in the forecast accurately reflect forecasted temps from Google. However, that weather section for "Now" doesn't get the temperature right. I tried the celsius/ translated language patch, and it had no affect on this proble.

Please help!

See screen shots to compare the actual temperature from Google's weather with the temperature that is put out by this module (off by 30 degrees).

Well, if this module ever gets fixed, I like the way it works rather well (the forecast is presented better than Yahoo's Forecast). The weather module doesn't support all locations (so this makes it unusable for small rural locations) and I couldn't get accuweather or the U.S. National Weather Service to show up at all. So it's Yahoo Weather Forecast, which seems to work right out of the box as long as you put in the correct numeric code for the location. For now, Google Weather is broken, since the current temperature is always off by 50 degrees (even though Google's data shows the right temp).

Thanks for your critique, posting patches etc... to help is never a bad thing though. It obviously isn't broken for everyone as there are quite a few users without this issue. What language/charset are you using?

For my database, I'm using utf8_general_ci. I think this is what you are asking for, but let me know. I'm sorry to be only able to complain about the problem, rather than fixing it myself. I wish I had more time to attempt the latter, but I'm squeezing in this work around other priorities (as are a lot of people, including the module developers perhaps). Thanks for your response! Any help would be appreciated.
