Weather Question on 0.9.8

[joelw135]

On the weather screen under the first weather icon it has the time for your first weather choise.  Is there a way to change the time on the next weather screen wich is not local time?  Ex: My local time is Eastern Standard Time and my next location for weather is Pacific time. Thanks.

Sadly, this time comes direct from the weather feed (MSNBC.com).  Presently, I believe it is not parsed by TodayPlus and is displayed exactly as it is provided my the feed.  

Personally, I'm inclined to remove it from my skins altogether and just make the assumption that if I have a recent update from MSNBC.com, they are responsible for making sure the weather information is up-to-date

Ok, thanks.  I just thought it would be nice  Where in the skin can I choose the citys I want time for?

Hi arbitrajeu,
are you sure that this time comes within the weather stream from MSNBC.com?

The coding for this time in the weather region looks like this (from 0.9.8 default skin):
text,28,43,[updatetime],c,l

For me it looks more like it takes that actual (local) time when the weather section is completely/successfully refreshed. At least this is what the Skin Reference says about the [updatetime] option:
=> [updatetime] -> Displays last refresh time for the region using the specified format string.

I totally agree with joelw135 that for the second city, the time should not show the local time but the time from that timezone (EST vs. PST).

But this is just a thought ...  

Have a great day!

Hmm... depends what time you are referring to.  In his earlier post joelw135 said "Is there a way to change the time on the next weather screen wich is not local time?".  I presumed he meant on the details screen which contains information like "Feels Like" temperature, Barometer, etc, which also has the time from the weather feed.  The command to display this is:

Code Select Expand

today,date,235,36,,,r
and has no formatting options, as I understand it.

The time you quoted is indeed local time, but the one above is direct from the feed.

Hi arbitrajeu,
I guess you are right ... I missunderstood joelw135's problem (English is not my native language).
Sorry - my fault. I will open a new thread with my problem ...

Have a great day!

I was refering to the time directly under the weather Icon that says home.

Aha.  Well, see my opinion here, then:
