Darksky API and current vs apparent temperature

[digitalformula]

[FIXED] It's a data source accuracy issue with DarkSky and is documented on their site. I just didn't think to check there first and assumed any good weather API would cover ... everywhere. Lol.

Hi all,

Has anyone else found the Darksky API returns the exact same value for current and apparent temperature?

The API works fine from a connectivity and performance perspective, but both current and apparent temperature are identical for me. Always.

I'm using a query based on their docs: https://api.darksky.net/forecast/#APIKEY#/#COORDINATES#?units=si

Anyone else seen this?

Thanks

Hi digitalformula

I am using DarkSkyAPI. And for my location, "temparature" and "apparentTemparature" are always different. For example;

Code: Select all

"temperature":-3.35,"apparentTemperature":-5.71
"temperature":-2.35,"apparentTemperature":-4.98
"temperature":-3.52,"apparentTemperature":-5.86

So, these apparentTemparature (= feels-like temparature) data seem to be relevant at least for me.

Firstly, holy moly that's cold.

Secondly, would you please post your request URL? Without API key and coordinates obviously, but I'd like to make sure it's the same or similar to mine.

Thanks for responding!

My request URL is https://api.darksky.net/forecast/#APIkey#/#Latitude#,#Longitude#?units=#Unit#. Possibly same as you.

Yes, my location is ice-cold place, but it is warm today.

I think it's a problem with my city for some reason. New Zealand works fine, London UK works fine using my query, other cities in my country work fine.

That's very weird.
