The weather widget (which accesses weather.com) fairly often gets the phase
of the moon wrong. Is this just me, or is it for everyone? At the moment it's
registering clear sky and a full moon, which is patent nonsense.

I doubt it is just you, the moon looks pretty similar wherever you are!

Phase is fairly independent of where you are, other than being the wrong
side of dateline. Rise and set times are very location dependent,
latitude, longitude, local time zone and horizon etc.

Try either my web page

or the photographers ephemeris

I know that. I just wondered if everyone else is getting the same wildly
incorrect data from weather.com on their widget.
