Have you configured it for your area. I live in Burntwood Staffordshire, and entered Burntwood GBR into its search. It is bang on all the time. It show as a dark icon until daylight, then shows yellow.

Yes It is set to Tamworth (West) NSW in Australia and I Live At Tamworth (North) NSW in Australia which is 10 Minutes away. as West Tamworth NSW Australia is the only setting. but it shouldn't change as the weather is the same.

Hmmm, that doesn't sound right... 67C is pretty hot

Can you right click the gadget and make sure that the check box is on "Celsius" and not "Fahrenheit"?

Hi Coco

That could be a local service that is not updating everything.

I've noticed that my temperature sticks from time to time. If you select a neighboring city, you may notice close to the correct stats. Periodically check back to see if your location is working again.

When I was using Vista the weather gadget would frequently "get stuck", and the only way to refresh it was to reset the location settings on it. It might just be a poorly written gadget.

Ya But it didn't get over 30C yesterday so where did the 83C and 67C come from?

Maybe it was measuring the inside of your oven? 83C is about 181 Fahrenheit... Could be some sort of problem with whatever sensor is generating the temps I suppose.
