Live weather is terriby wrong quite often in Norway

Bug Reports

Planning routes with this function is hopeless as the temps expected in ABRP is not even close to reality quite often.
As of posting this ABRP claims -8C at chargers around me while in reality it is +1C.
Did some checking and the worst was Tesla SuC in Aurland, Norway where ABRP claims -16C later this evening while the reality is probably around 0C as forecast by the Norwegian met services.

Where does this happen?
ABRP version number (found at bottom of settings menu)

    Thanks for reporting (again!). Seems like the complex climate of Norway is not handled well enough by OpenWeatherMap. We will look into it.

      So I guess the other report was rejected because ABRP is not able to use the dev API from Yr?

      I think due to the rugged landscape international weather services have never been able to do a good job in Norway.
      The automated system used on Yr by the Norwegian met services took years to develop from a base weather model.

      I’m also wondering if the large amount of tunnels, especially in western Norway, is throwing of ABRP and its ability to calculate consumption based on road condition and temperature. Longer tunnels will have +10 to 15C inside all winter and obviously mostly dry if long enough.

        Yr is still an option for Norway but we of course try to keep things simple for us and use a single service for all of our markets. We will check again if Yr can be used as a special provider for Norway.

          This really needs fixing. Had another day with ABRP claiming 10C and rain while we had 20C+ and sunny weather.
