Issue/Bug Description: The temperature unit is incorrect after changing it to celcius.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

  • click on date time in status bar
  • click on weather
  • change the temperature unit to celcius via hamburger menu
  • close weather app
  • click again on date time in status bar
  • temperature unit is still Fahrenheid

Expected behavior: The temperature should changed to Celcius

@thewally I have been able to replicate the issue. Can you try the following and see if it fixes it for you.

  1. Set the temperature unit to Celsius as described above
  2. Run the following command in the terminal gsettings set org.gnome.GWeather4 temperature-unit centigrade
  3. Reboot

Check if you now see Celsius in the date time drop down. You may need to open the Weather app once first if it is not already showing in the drop down.

This'll be fixed once the 42.1 update is released

I can confirm this is still an issue. By using dconf-editor to search for temperature-unit I observed the following. When the temperature unit is changed in the Weather app org.gnome.GWeather temperature-unit changes with it, but it seems the temperature-unit in the drop-down is controlled by org.gnome.GWeather4 temperature-unit. This value does not change with the Weather app. Although not a fix, this can still be changed manually to match the Weather app setting with gsettings set org.gnome.GWeather4 temperature-unit centigrade or gsettings set org.gnome.GWeather4 temperature-unit fahrenheit.

Tested with GNOME Version 42.4

Can confirm Gnome 42.5 has same issue, and that setting the GWeather4 temperature-unit variable fixes it.
