Weather widget wrong time after daylight savings time

[lancashirehotpot]

Anybody else in the UK not had the weather widget update the time by an hour even though the phone time has gone forward an hour? Any ideas how to correct it? Tried restarting and removing the widget...

Is your Date and time in Settings on Automatic?

Have you tried rebooting your phone?

My Vodafone time is O.K. Changed at 01.00 hrs.

Yeah its on automatic and tried rebooting it. The phone time is correct it's just the weather widget that's not

I hate that weather widget. I use Transparent clock & weather, free from the Play Store. Much more accurate and configurable. Try deleting the widget from your home screen and then re-adding it. Hopefully, that should kick it into gear.

Tried it, it did sort itself out briefly but then when I unlocked my phone again had gone back an hour. Never mind, like you say there's loads of alternatives I suppose. Cheers

Might there be a setting that sets its time to UTC?

It seems to be related to location. If I turn location off the time adjusts and is correct, then if I turn weather location back on it goes back an hour. This suggests it's possibly an issue at their end?

In the US its wrong for about 24 hours and then fixes itself. Just wait.

In the UK the clocks went forward an hour. Sure enough, the widgets sorted itself out now and is correct again. Strange bug.

I got this problem on my S6 (going on CET time, living in Sweden) as well. The problem corrected itself after a day or two. However, another, "cosmetic" bug persists. There's this thiny icon that appeared just on the right side of the clock, representing sun with a small clock inside - I assume an indicator regarding daylight savings thing. But it won't go away. I guess this was supposed to be there just the first day or two after the time changed, but it's still there - a week later. Removing / re-adding the weather widget wouldn't fix the problem. I also cleaned the cache from the widget - nothing.
