I’ve looked everywhere for a clue, or someone facing a similar problem as me. But I’ve found nothing; perhaps I don’t know what to properly search for.
Anyway, I apologize in advance if this has been asked already.
So, my code is returning a temperature. But it’s not in a proper format. For example, if it’s 30 degrees out, it’s returning something like “271.32”
Here is the code:
/***********************************************************

$(document).ready(function(){
// Click event to rid the annoyance of the location request
$('#getWeather').click(function() {
var lat;
var long;
// Get user location
if (navigator.geolocation){
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){
// Display current location - might need to get rid of this
// Returning the weather
lat = position.coords.latitude;
long = position.coords.longitude;
// When this code is published to codepen, github, etc.
// use this URL in front of the api's URL:
// https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/
// 'reaching out' to the API, and returning 'raw' JSON data
$.getJSON("http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=" +
lat +
"&lon="+
long +
"&APPID=919f297e735dd0af585e1f2a2318b499",
function(json) {
$("#town").html("<p><b>Location: </b></p>" +
JSON.stringify(json.name));
$("#data").html("<p><b>Temperature: </b></p>" +
JSON.stringify(Math.round(json.main.temp)));
/*$("#data").html("<p class='rise'>Temperature: </p>" +
JSON.stringify(json.main.temp));*/
}, function(error){
console.log(error);
});
// $('#data').html("current temp: " + data.main.temp);
});
}
});
});
