'world clock applet' and 'weather report applet' show different temperatures

I see this too. Is this the intended behaviour?

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=514333

Yes, I have noticed this too.
It say 6 'C in the systray thing, then when I hover mouse, the tooltip says 2.1 'C, and it confuses me, because I wonder, which is it?

The new world clock applet is inconsistent itself. It displays two different temperatures when "show weather" option is used. The temperature shown on the panel is always different than the temperature shown in the tulip in the extended view (please see linked photo). Judging from weather.com for the same location, the temperature shown on the panel is more up-to-date. My location is Kennedy Airport, America/New York.

I've seen the same thing on my desktop. The weather applet displays 9° celcius, the world clock applet shows in my tray 8°C and the tooltip tellls me 4.8°C. :) My location is Weeze Germany.

gnome-applets 2.21.92-0ubuntu2

there is no need to keep adding comments and screenshots to a bug which has been marked triaged already

Nominated for Hardy. Although low priority since it is very benign, marketing wise, when selling Ubuntu as a nice polished Linux distribution, if two different temperature show up in one of the most visible applets, the credibility of the distribution takes a hike to the casual, non technologically inclined user. Very visual, annoying bugs should be fixed for Hardy, IMHO. Particularly that this one should be easy to fix.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-panel - 1:2.22.1-0ubuntu1

Where does the weather report come from? The Location name or the Latitude and Longitude?
