Settings > Weather: Weather data for your location is fetched

several times per day from various weather sources such as NOAA

(US) or MET.NO (Global). Default is NOAA for US and MET.NO only

for EU and Global. If two or more weather data sources are used at

the same time, the result will be an average of the two data sets.

We do not advise mixing multiple sources, for most applications

NOAA is sufficient.
