Weather docklet showing wrong days on flyouts

Is this a bug?

from Stardock Forums
I have installed the brand-new OD 1.9b536 and configured amongst others the Weather docklet.

Unfortunately, the flyouts of the 5-day forecast show the wrong days. For instance, today is monday 18 June, 2007. The flyouts show "Today", "Tomorrow", "Tuesday", "Wednesday" and "Thursday". It should be "Today", "Tomorrow", "Wednesday", "Thursday" and "Friday".

In Windows' Regional Options I have set my "Location" to "Italy", in "Date and Time Settings" my time zone is correctly set to "GMT+1 Amsterdam, Rome,...". All other settings respect my geographical position. The location chosen is the setup is either "Lugano, Switzerland" or "Milano, Italy" both found but also giving the same "error".

Late at night the docklet magically "recovers" giving the proper days on the flyouts, but the next day I have the same problem again. This makes me think that the weather docklet has embedded its own time zone. This qualifies for me as a bug.

Since I was annoyed by this behaviour, I have installed the XMLWeather docklet in place (picking up from weather.com using code 'ITXX0082') the indication is correct but unfortunately there are no flyouts with 5-day forecast.

Same Problem with 1.9 b535u
It's not just that the days are wrong. It's showing yesterday's weather! "today" 86F is actually what it was yesterday. "Tomorrow" is today. A shame. I was really hoping this could replace my (inefficient resource hog) Yahoo Widget.

Ditto here. It is now Wednesday, June 27 2007 9:57PM CST USA and I'm getting 'Tonight, Tomorrow, Thusday, Friday, Saturday' on the flyout!

Confirmed here too for Sweden. I really like the fly-out menu for the weather so I am keeping my fingers crossed that this will be fixed.

Yeah, i don't think the day change is tied to the user's time zone, but some other. Because i have 2 docklets running, 1 for me, 1 for my gf in australia, and they both currently show the same days even though it's already 7:42 in the morning there and 23:42 here. So different days locally, same days on the docklet.

If you can, please try the latest beta build. I believe it solves quite a few (not all) problems relating to the weather docklet. For example, I am not experiencing the problems people are describing here (I have the beta installed). However, I am not certain if this is location-related or not...
