Gmail theme showing incorrect weather

Is anyone else having an issue where their Gmail theme is show­ing incor­rect weather?

It’s 11:38 on a Sunday in Atlanta. There are clear blue skies out and the tree theme is show­ing me thunderclouds.

    Did you set your loca­tion placed in themes section?

    Yes, I had ini­tially set it for my zip code, and then I also tried it set for Atlanta, GA.

    But on either set­ting it showed the cloudy day…

    I’ve noticed the same thing, all the way down in Cape Town, South Africa.

    Not that I use gmail themes to tell me what the weather’s doing, but it’s annoy­ing when it’s out of synch.

    I’ve noticed the same thing in Maas­tricht (Nether­lands). Bright blue skies out­side, but gmail tree is telling me it’s rain­ing cats and dogs.

    Worse than this – mine is sunny and bright even though it is NIGHT­TIME here!

    Yeah, mine only started doing this in Decem­ber, though. I wonder if it’s just a hol­i­day thing? Starts going bonkers with the weather, maybe. But right now (night time in Cal­i­for­nia) it’s show­ing bright sunny skies. Ear­lier this month, when it was clear weather, it was show­ing snow, snow­storms, incred­i­ble elec­tri­cal storms, etc. It’s just been wrong wrong wrong lately.
