The problem

The current state does not fit onto the new weather card.
It's even worse on mobile.
The state Teilweise bew枚lkt (partially cloudy) gets reduces to Teilwe... which means something like partia... in english.

Expected behavior

Things move until at least most of the state fit onto the card.

We should also align the right and left:

The state is the least important information here. You have the icon for that.

@zsarnett I strongly disagree. You need to know most of the symbols to interpret them correctly.
Personally I think the state and the temperature are the most important information there.

If the state is not important, why is it the largest text?
To be consistent, it should be much smaller or get the space it needs. I do not like the solution of cutting off parts of the state. And I don't think that this is a good user experience.

So do why do you have the forecast if you can't interpret the symbols?

I think there can be some improvements. Visually speaking I don't know what is best..

Probably making the name of the card larger and the state smaller. As a user can shorten the name. Problem is there will always be issues with this if the name or state is long enough

Because it's the only weather card that's available, I guess.
Don't get me wrong, I like the new card. I just think the ux can be improved.

You can take the forecast off in the settings of the card 馃槈

I will see what I can do

What if we swap the name and the state?

The name is big and below the smaller state?

I like it

I thought about something like that. But it's almost the same :smile:

Have both the big ones on top looks better

I do not think that for this it is necessary to create a new issue, so I will write here. Openweathermap reports the weather from the current time until the end of the day. If the time is nearing the end of the day, and at this time warming is expected, we can see this:
owm
I think something like this would look better: 2掳 ... 2.7掳C
It will also add more space for state.

Another issue on this card:
One time it shows:
Auswahl_318
another time
Auswahl_319
The size (and also the browser window size) is exactly the same.
If this needs a new issue, please tell me and i'll do.

I think, this can be closed, since the original issue was resolved. @VDRainer I see this behavior as well. It may be worth to create a new issue for it
