In some cases, a weather station may be temporarily or permanently unavailable, so the system will default to a weather station further afield. Weather conditions may differ there. In some cases, weather stations are quite far away from the city.
The current weather data may also not be updated as frequently. If you notice current weather that is repeatedly incorrect, let us know.
The update interval depends on the weather station that delivers data for the location. Some stations update quite frequently, such as every 30 minutes, while others may take a few hours to deliver the next installment of weather data. Read about the weather stations here.

Our weather glossary explains weather terminology and other words used in our services.
Hover your mouse over or tap on any of the weather icons and an explanation will appear.
Both the arrows and the letters show the direction the wind is blowing. In keeping with meteorological standards, the letters indicate the direction the wind is blowing from, while the arrows point in the direction the wind is moving toward. The orientation of the arrows is based on the directions on most maps, where north is upward.
For example, an arrow pointing upwards indicates that the wind blows from south to north; it will be accompanied by the letter S (south). An arrow pointing right means the wind blows from west to east; it will be accompanied by the letter W (west).
The flags (feathers) or pennants at the tail end of each arrow represent the wind speed.
Where an arrow features multiple symbols, they have to be added up to calculate the wind speed. For example, an arrow with 2 full flags and a half-flag means that the wind speed is 25 knots.
The values for wind speed are rounded to the nearest whole unit.
For technical reasons, the high and low temperatures don't always refer to the highest and lowest temperature of that day. More information can be found here.
In the past weather graph, each day is divided into four time spans:
For simplicity, we only display the start time for each time slot at the top of each column.
For example, the column showing 06:00 or 6 am covers the time from 06:00 – 12:00 (6 am – 12 noon).
The two temperatures displayed in each column are the high and low temperatures recorded in the respective time span.
All humidity data on our site refers to relative humidity, unless otherwise stated.
Our database of locations includes thousands of cities worldwide, and we now offer an additional 6 million places via the GeoNames database. If you still don't find your town, please let us know, and we will consider adding it.
When you type the location into the search field and it suggests several places by the same name, first have a look at the country flag and the description in parentheses to identify the city you are looking for. If it is still unclear, click on one of the locations and check the geographical position on the map (on desktop) or click on the Time/General tab and check the longitude/latitude information shown near the top of the page.
Go to My Location, enter a location, and click Save.
