Getting another countries weather forecast instead of my own - Blu-ray Forum

This may be the wrong place to post this but i couldn't see a better option.

When i open my browser i get my weather forecast based off my ip address. It's always been right until today where i'm getting the weather of a country half the world away.

Should i be worried? Is this a sign of being hacked or does it ever happen to you? Thanks.

Are you sure you didn’t travel half the world without realizing it?

Pretty sure...

I have been known to sleepwalk though...

In all seriousness, it just creeped me out a bit...i'm hoping it's just a glitch and it's happened to others.

Yeah, but are you sure you’re sure?

You should check your pockets to see if you have any currency from another country. I've set my weather app to show me the weather in some other countries but I've never had it do it on its own.

are you going through a VPN? Are you sure you (or someone else) did not change the settings?
