The weather station is broke

Kaput! Done for. Of course, it no longer says it’s snowing outside. And the indoor weather still works. So now I’m stuck watching the widget on my mac, distrusting it. It says it’s 82, but how do I know? My porch could be a micro-climate. It could be 83 out there and I wouldn’t know. When is the weather widget updated anyways? Is it real time, or is there a delay? I need answers!!
