It turns out this isn’t actually due to invalid weather data. Instead, it’s due to the firmware not receiving any response from the server. The firmware is supposed to tag this as error -1, but I think there is a bug that it did not prefix it with the negative sign. If you take a look at the API document:
https://raysfiles.com/os_compiled_firmware/docs/2.2.0/OSAPI2.2.0(1).pdf
at the very last page, it says any error code that has a negative value indicates network related issues such as the response not received, failing to connect to the weather server etc. Because it didn’t prefix it with the negative sign, the error code becomes positive 1 and the UI interprets it as bad weather data.
Now, why there was no response from the server, that I am not sure. We rebooted the weather server and it looks like things are ok at the moment. Will monitor it over the next few days and see if the problem still exists.
