Great app, but now we are back on GMT, the pics are still showing BST, which presumably throws the hourly weather predictions off by an hour?

Have looked at settings but can't see an option to change it. Any ideas?

Thanks guys.

If you are UK based, then this app might be a better deal.

I haven't checked but I assume Yahoo weather is US based. Do they switch their DST at the same time as us.... I might be wrong.

This happened with the same app the last time the clocks were changed, and it took a while for them to fix it. Poor from such a huge company.

Just uninstalled and reinstalled, that didn't change things.

I'll stick with it then. How long did it take last time?

Does anyone find that the pictures go blurry and the message "Sorry not able to provide information" icon is displayed now and again? Anyone know why that is and if it can be fixed? Reinstalling fixes it; but I don't want to do that every time.

The US clocks don't go back until next week, I would imagine that it just fixes itself when their clocks go back into sync with ours.

I *think* it was fixed within the few days last time, rather than having to wait for the US. But yeah, if it isn't fixed by then, I imagine it will just fix itself at that point.

The Yahoo Weather app is definitely broken, and the Widget only works occasionally. If you're on iOS, a far better weather app is dark Sky.

Yeah, it's now correct. Still poor that it took a few days, especially after it happened last time.
