The "Brazil - Information" page does not show the weather for the current day. It shows the weather for the next 4 days, and not for today and the next 3 days. I had a race yesterday with one team and it showed the weather for today and the next 3. I now have a race there tonight, and it does not show the weather for today, only tomorrow onwards.
Brazil is 3 hours behind the UK, so why does it not show the weather for today? I'm presuming there is a coding error for the Brazilian race. I think the "Live" weather seems to be correct.
Has this already been noticed and being fixed?

I may need to look in to it again, but the forecasts are generally intended to show the days ahead rather than the current day.

Thanks Jack. But why is the Brazil race the only one that does that? All the other races shows the current day, apart from places like Japan, Austraila, etc, who are about 10 hours ahead of UK. So looking at them this evening will show Thursday's weather (which is their current day weather). I'm not the only who has noticed this. So from what you're saying, it looks like Brazil is the only one that does what it's supposed to do?
I agree about the live forecast, but that only shows what the weather is at that moment. Myself, as well as my friends, also look at the daily forecast so we can see if it's changeable weather or not, so we can work out our strategies. As it stands, Brazil is the only one we can't do that with.

Darth check timezone, the timezone on the circuit info relates to the current time in that zone. We could be morning and they could still be a day behind.

Thanks David, but I know and realise that. Brazil is 3 hours behind UK. So when I checked at 6pm this evening (Wednesday), their time was 3pm. But the circuit info was showing weather for tomorrow (Thursday) and the next 3 days after that.
