strange forecast

Created attachment 288234 [details] odd weather As the attached screenshot demonstrates, the weather forecast is somewhat odd. * Global indicator shows -1°C, yet all the hourly readings are above 13°C * Tue shows it's going to be snowing at 16°C, which is certainly something to looks forward to. It may be some glitch in the source data, but I wouldn't rule out some parsing/unit issue.
One explanation could be that the current weather is based on the readings from the closest weather station (which can be up to a couple hours old, in unfortunate cases, although it is usually within half an hour for international airports), while the hourly weather is based on yr.no forecasts (which are usually updated every 6 hours, and may not reflect the actual outside weather). The snow at 16°C is probably a different bug, I'll need to look into it.
Created attachment 288262 [details] [review] yrno: actually update to the 1.9 API The 1.9 API, unlike the 1.8 one, uses non consecutive numbers for symbol codes, so we need to write down which codes correspond to which symbols and use a binary search to find out what the server gave us.
Attachment 288262 [details] pushed as 79ae03e - yrno: actually update to the 1.9 API Pushed to master (soon to be gnome-3-14) and gnome-3-12. Will be in 3.14.1 on Monday.
