http://www.jonfenner.com/2016/The integrated weather forecast for my location is inaccurate when using Alexa with Amazon Echo Dot. This location has a significant microclimate, and getting an accurate forecast is best done through Weather Underground. This is why I developed my own weather station and linked it to Alexa Flash Briefing.
