The weather forecast is incorrect

At this point, I'm tempted to rewrite the weather system and how the sims get weather. It is a legacy system that relies quite heavily on a cache so that it's more scalable, and the cache system keeps serving stale data. I've debugged endlessly why this started happening a few weeks ago on certain servers, and keep forcefully resetting the cache and coming up with ways to renew it, and it's running fine... then I leave and come back hours later and it's stale again. The part that's bizarre is it'll literally run fine for a few hours each time, then start misbehaving.

It's definitely time to rethink it as this is getting silly. Thanks for keeping me informed and for your patience, guys. This is testing mine and yours.

I have confirmed the cache is still updating correctly today, after yesterday's updates. That points to something else, not sure yet what the culprit is.

I'm going to deploy an update to the simulators today that will allow me to extract weather insights and more data.

The new simulator is live now. All my recent scans for weather indicate it is correct on the simulators. I couldn't find any issues earlier today, either.
