So, I don’t use iOS devices, and I’m not in Europe, so I can’t provide a lot of first-hand data on your particular widget. I’m just saying that that’s how the weather software I’ve used in the past across a number of platforms works.
Regarding your change as you traveled towards the coast, if they’re choosing the closest weather station to your location, though, you’d expect the weather station in question to shift as you travel.
If they are reporting temperature at a weather station and if this database here represents the weather station set that is used (again, I don’t know, not familiar with weather reporting in Europe):
eea.europa.eu/…/locations-of-stations-with-temper…
Then it looks like France is operating far fewer weather stations than some other countries in Europe, which might tend to cause more average deviation between a given location of someone checking the weather and the conditions at the local weather station being used.
