For some reason, the weather icon still shows the moon an hour or two after daylight. Is there a setting I'm missing? It never did this before.

Could be because of Daylight Savings? Whether WS shows the moon or the sun is a bit arbitrary (i.e. an aproximation), since the actual time is fixed, but it might be completely off during the peak of the summer (where days are longer) or during winter (where night fall comes faster).

Plus, it depends on the country and region - the METAR.TXT file has a time table, related to UTC, for each country, but it does not take into account regional differences, i.e.; cases where the country is so wide (like the US) that it might actually cross several time zones.
