weather widget displays absurd temperatures.

My S4 has a problem displaying temperatures in Celsius properly. I changed the settings from Fahrenheit to Celsius in the widget settings and all that changed was to replace the letter F with a C. Now i receive updates telling me that it's 75 C outside. If you understand the Celsius scale you'll know that it is never ever that hot anywhere on the planet.
This problem is an old one but with the update to lollipop i have this on my lock screen so I'd like it to be accurate. Any ideas how to fix this?
Additional information: in the widget itself i have a similar and most likely related problem. Until i manually refresh the weather widget the temperature is displayed in the same way as on the lock screen. Fahrenheit values followed by a Celsius C. Resulting in absurd temperatures. The whole point of a widget in my lock screen is that i don't have to manually refresh it. For that I might as well go to a weather site and look it up. Thanks for any suggestions!
