Show HN: Do I need an umbrella today?

The location verification is a bit wonky for me.

I entered 'Sudbury, MA' --> NOK, 'Sudbury' validates to 'Greater Sudbury (CA)', 'Sudbury (MA)' --> NOK. Tried with a neighboring city in Massachusetts, 'Concord' --> Validates as fine but given the experience with Sudbury, it isn't obvious which of the ~35 Concords that there are in the US (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concord).

I'm guessing this is scoped to just California?

I had similar issues with the location verification. Dublin auto validated to Dublin (US) - probably Dublin, Georgia. When I typed "Dublin, Ireland" that returned "Location not found". I needed to type "Dublin, IE" to get it to accept my location.

That being said, living in Ireland, I usually bring an umbrella anyway because the weather here is maliciously designed to give you trust issues.

Actually no its using OpenWeatherAPI, but as a mvp I did not include the Google Maps autocomplete functionality. It's a small thing to add, happy to include in the next release (by tomorrow based on all the feedback here).
