FreeCodeCamp´s weather API location errors. Anyone else?

1

Hi

I have been working on the local weather challenge for a while using FreeCodeCamp’s weather API and found that rather often it does not find my location correctly.

Let me explain:

the codepen does work. but every now and then the API seems to decide I am in japan rather than the UK.

Has anyone else encountered this problem as well?

Also, I found that one specific parameter (the location… again!!) loads perfectly when using a button, but does not normally load when loading the pen itself. I am puzzled as why this is happening, since the button executes the same function as the pen when loading.

Here you have link to my pen.

(Sorry for the ugly looking style… I have been focusing on the functionality so far)

Thank you for your help!!

OK, I think I get it now. I am used to coding that executes sequentially instead of simultaneously. I didn´t think about the possibility of the two functions executing at the same time!!

Thank you, for the explanation! Everything makes much more sense now.
