Please double-check the weather information for Villahermosa, Tabasco, Mexico.
Temperature is always off - for instance, it is now 22°C in Villahermosa, and YoWindow displays 8°C !! :?

Hi Pasha,

I checked out this location. Location Properties is presently set up for MGHT. Wunderground is using MMVA.

I hope this helps you out.

I looked at the location-properties: the defined Metar-Station is MGHT, which is located in Huehuetenango, Guatemala.
Possible - but strange.
@Pavel: i don't think MGHT is really the nearest Metar for Villahermosa;
MMVA (Airport Carlos Rovirosa Pérez) would be much better.

Thanks Ikarus,

this might explains indeed why the temperature shift.. Villahermosa is onshore, almost at sea level in the South-East of Mexico, it has tropical weather with very hot temperatures.
Huehuetenango on the other hand is located 500 km south east, at an altitude of 1900 m.

MMVA (Airport Carlos Rovirosa Pérez) represents indeed Villahermosa airport, and the weather station there would provide way more precise results for the city of Villahermosa.
