As of this morning it is finally working okay now - apparently Yahoo finally fixed it?

Yahoo weather API has been returning random old invalid data for over 3 weeks now.
I am surprised more here have not noticed.  It has effected many apps in IOS and
Pebble watch, etc.  Sometimes the API will return the current temp - but most times
it returns a temp from sometime in the last week or so.  Ideally we should be looking
at another API such as maybe Weather Underground's API - as Yahoo has basically
been ignoring the problem.   

Also I can only assume many havent noticed it here because they must live in a place
where the temp doesnt change much??  If you look at the timestamp of the temp
received after doing a refresh - you will see it is data from days ago more often than not.
