Incorrect conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius

Hi, Mike! I’m from Russia and i’m using your program Weather Watcher. Since one of the newest versions (it was 5.4x) i have a little problem - incorrect conversion of the temperature from fahrenheits to celsius. Now the feels like temperature in my tray - 716 ? :slight_smile:
New version 5.5b NOT CORRECT this problem, please fix this bug.

Is the feels-like temperature correct in the Current Conditions?

No! It’s the same. And real temperature wrong too. Now it’s 79 degrees by Celsius!!!

And little offtop: i can translate your program interface into russian :wink: Just ask me.

Does the weather look like it’s retrieving OK… do all of the bars in the status window fill up when retrieving the weather? Can you post a screenshot of the Current Conditions window here?

Yes, all of the bars does fill up when retrieving weather update.

It looks like the extra “7” has been added to the Current Conditions HTML template. I changed my regional setting to “Russian”, and I was able to view the weather for Moscow without any problems.

Reinstalling Weather Watcher using the full setup will restore your HTML templates. Here is a link to the setup file:

Reinstalling doesn’t help!
And… it’s not extra “7” because now real temperature -10 degrees by Celsius and not (7)12!

Is -10 correct? What regional settings are you using?

That’s screenshot of my regional settings:

And that’s screenshot of my daily forecast:

Looks like this extra “7” must be a “-”(minus) sign… Or anything else?

By regional settings, I meant the “Regional and Language Options” settings in the Windows Control Panel. I selected “Russian” there and I was able to see minus signs, instead of 7’s.

Have you tried Weather Watcher on any other computers? Would it be possible to do so in order to figure out if it’s a problem on your computer?

This might be worth a try:

  1. Open the “Regional and Language Options” in the Windows Control Panel.

  2. Click the “Customize…” button.

  3. In the “Negative sign symbol” dropdown box, do you see “-” or “7”? You should see “-”.

WoW! You’re genius! It’s working correctly now. Thanks for your patience, Mike!!!

Wow! Nice catch Mike.

Now the question is how did it get to be a “7” instead of a “-”. [:D]

EdP

I have no clue. Maybe some other application set it to that.
