So measured at a specific location, under very precise conditions, but also time delayed, from a different weather station, averaged over a different period with any number of variations.
This app is very popular with people, it’s where a lot of Apple users get their information. I guess it doesn’t bother you people giving out information that is this wrong.
It bothers me.

It bothers you because you have no understanding of how temp is measured/calculated by these different platforms.
This is new - in the 70’s the local news station would report local temp, and it would be wildly different from the thermometer on our property, because local conditions can vary that much.
I can feel the difference in temp where I live by walking 30 feet. It can vary 20 degrees in that time because microclimate.
Weather apps are notoriously wrong for me - at least 5 degrees F all the time.
