I'm having an interesting issue with the iOS 8 weather app.
I search for my zip code, 19709, and click on where it says Middletown, Delaware. It shows Middletown as the city name, but shows the wrong forecast. The reason? When I click the Weather Channel logo in the bottom left corner, it shows me Middletown, Ohio. It looks like the app is ignoring the state and just showing whichever city it feels like with the same name.
I tested it with two other nearby cities, Townsend and Odessa, and it shows the wrong state for both of those as well. There is no indication whatsoever inside the app that it is showing the wrong state, you have to click through to the web forecast to find out. Also, it doesn't matter if you search by zip code or by city/state, either way it shows the wrong one.
Is anyone else having this issue? I have seen some complaints around the web that the forecasts and current conditions were wrong, and I am assuming that this is the reason.
