First of all I wanted to say that this is a great app, I love it. I was checking out the chart and I noticed some inconsistencies:

  1. There is gap in the data. I am attaching a screenshot

temps-gap-in-data

Notice the current time is ~21:00 Tuesday Jan 3rd, but the first entry on the chart starts at Wednesday 6:00 AM Jan 4th. What about the data between now (21:00 ) and the first entry (6:00 next day)?

  1. I am not sure if it's related to the first observation, but I noticed the data is off. I am attaching another screenshot:

temps-chart-different

Notice the highlighted point on the graph is Wednesday Jan 4th 12:00 and it says it will be 1 F. But checking out the same time on google it says it will be 20 F. I feel like it's plotting the wrong data point?

  1. This is more of an enhancement request, but I think it would be cool to show an hourly table (maybe have an option in the preferences to choose between a graph or a table). Or maybe show the x-axis temperature points (like in the google chart in the attachment from the second bullet point above) so you don't have to hover to find out the values. If you just look at the chart without hovering you are not sure what the max and min points are.

Thanks again for such a great app!!

Hey @elatov, thanks for the feedback.

I'm actually not sure, why there is such a gap. I never had such an issue before. Is this issue still present?
I'm getting the weather data by http://www.openweathermap.org/. I know the weather data is not the best so far, maybe you can compare google weather data and openweather data next time?
And the last point: yeah, I will keep that in mind. Hopefully within the next releases I will provide more options to change the appearance of temps.

Cheers!

I apologize for the late response. Yeah comparing with http://www.openweathermap.org/ site it does seem that the application is in sync. But I still don't know why http://www.openweathermap.org/ is so different from other weather providers (any plans to support other weather providers?). And looking over the graph I do see that they match:

open-match

But the offset is still there. Notice in the openweather site the beginning of the graph is 23:00 while the beginning of the Temps application is 05:00. Is there some sort of debug information/logging I can enable to see what data it's getting from the site and what it's plotting?

Thanks,
