Apparent Temp ?C/?F Bug
« on: April 19, 2013, 07:16:27 PM »
I believe there is a bug in the WC 1.14 for Apparent Temperature Min & Max tags. I have WC set to display ?F, but both the AT_US and AT_AUS MIN and MAX tags fail to convert to ?F and report the temps in ?C. I discovered the issue working with the Steel Gauges when the Apparent Temp high/low red shaded area was way too low. Go to http://www.oshlo.net/weather/BreckWx.html (or attached screenshot) to see.

Here are the relevant segments of the steel gauge template file and the resultant processed and uploaded file.

"apptemp":"AT_US$",
"apptempTL":"STAT$AT_US:MIN:TODAY$",
"apptempTH":"STAT$AT_US:MAX:TODAY$",
"TapptempTL":"STAT$AT_US:MIN:TODAY:TIME$",
"TapptempTH":"STAT$AT_US:MAX:TODAY:TIME$",

"apptemp":"23.9",
"apptempTL":"-18.9",
"apptempTH":"-3.5",
"TapptempTL":"12:59 AM",
"TapptempTH":"10:59 AM",

The apptemp appears to be the correct current apparent temp value, but obviously, the Max cannot be -3.5?F if the current value is 23.9?F (which just happens to be -3.5 celsius).
