Hi there,
I am facing the following "problem" resp. made following observation:
I defined two cities in my config.txt:
Mainz, Germany (Timezone: CET = UTC+1)
Tucson, AZ (Timezone: MST = UTC-7)
When I successfully refresh the weather region, the time below the actual weather of BOTH cities is my local(!) time when I did the refresh. Please have a look at the picture below.
I did the refresh at 22:47 (= 10:47 pm CET) - this is shown under Mainz (which is correct) but also under Tucson.
I think - but I am not sure - that the latter one is not correct. I should rather be 14:47 (= 2:47 pm MST).
Regarding the coding in the skin file, the way it works at the moment is correct, because in the weather region we are using the [updatetime] parameter for both cities.
But I think it is more likely a design problem.
Just a tought ... maybe I am wrong here. But please let me know what you think about this.
Thanks and have a nice day :D

Personally, I think this is correct. This is the time that
you updated the weather information. And, unless I am mistaken, you updated both sets of weather whilst sitting happily in Mainz at 22:47 ;)
The time on the detail page, which we've discussed on another thread, is the time that MSNBC.com
received the weather information, and is therefore in
their local time.
I think that trying to change update times to local timezones for the cities in question would be (a) hard and (b) misleading, as it's implying that that was the weather at that time in that place, which is not the case.
Point well taken, but maybe a little note along side "updated" but again that mite be crowding the screen.
@All
Thanks for the explanation!
As I wrote in my previous update, this was just a "thought" ... not a big deal :D
Have a great day!
