Why does AccuWeather say it is 81 degrees Fahrenheit in north Idaho?

AccuWaether app - strang results

I have been checking the AccuWeather app periodically today. It had been displaying reasonable results, but then it got a bit strange: The current temperature and conditions were incorrect (81/partly sunny reported vs. 50/cloudy actual); also, the description of the conditions was in Turkish instead of English. The forecasted high/low temps and 4-day forecast summary are correct for this location.

Powering the phone off/on did not change the display. I added a new location and the temp/conditions were displayed the same as the incorrect results for my current location (with the Turkish); the forecast data was correct for the new location.

Has anyone ever seen anything like this or have any idea what might be happening?

What location is shown in the upper left corner of the app?

Re: AccuWaether app - strang results

The location in the top center is Ft. Worth, TX. The upper left in the widget display shows the date/time; the upper left of the app display is empty.

Accuweather hacked 1-22-18

My accuweather now says 81 degrees - everywhere and it says so in Turkish apparently. Should I turn to LG? Verizon? Bitdefender?
I have removed the widget from my home screen, but I can't "UNINSTALL" the widget.

Any suggestions?

 

[Android Central Question]

It is 30° F outside and snowing, and my widget is telling me it is 81°F.... This is so far off it isn't even funny. It is really flipping annoying. Restarted phone, deleted and reinstalled app, and it still says it is over 80 outside.

What's wrong with AccuWeather?

My Droid Turbo AccuWeather says it's 81 degrees in Turkey, and I can't get it to change back to Pennsylvania weather.

Why is Accuweather showing 81 degrees everywhere and "partly sunny" in Turkish?

I have a Verizon LG G4 and it's currently showing the wrong temp entirely on the Accuweather app. It says 81° no matter which location you enter, and it's currently showing "partly sunny", only the words are in Turkish.

Oddly, the High/Low/Real Feel temps are all accurate (at least, as much as they can be-- whoo, meteorology), as are the individual forecasts. Just the primary temp is wrong, and of course there's the Turkish bit.

Help!

Mine is doing same thing. I think it has been hacked in some way. I removed from screen, cleared cache and data of the widget, forced stop and re-placed widget and it still shows 81 and the foreign language.

Re: Accuweather hacked 1-22-18

Definitely had this same problem about an hour ago. The widget said that it was 81F outside and sunny when it's really about 40 degrees at night :/ when I tapped on the weather widget it lead me to Accuweather but in a foreign language. I temporarily disabled my wifi and then cleared my browser's history, cache, cookies and then turned off my location. Now the widget just says "Add cities" with no temperature, so maybe it worked?

No argument there. The same thing is happening to everyone's Androids worldwide. Accuweather is fixing this from their end. The problem is originating from their offices.

I was sure that I was going crazy. Same thing has been happening to me on my Moto Z Force, since yesterday.

Welcome to the forums. You're not alone, it seems there's a problem on their side.

Re: Accuweather hacked 1-22-18

OK I too was getting the 81degree thing. Now today my LG G3 is totally locked up. The only sign of life is the green light indicating full charge, I tried turning it off, nothing doing. Anyone else having this problem? I'll try going to my local Verizon store, I do have extended coverage. I tried the Android site, they forwarded me to another site, after asking me for $5.00 and when I paid that via PayPal, I was charged $24.00 instead - A RIP OFF - Beware!

Thanks! And from what I can tell it looks like they got it fixed. Let's hope.
