Default weather date format is ambiguous

[andrewgoz]

The default format for the weather listing is all numeric, which results in ambiguous presentation of dates - is 6/11/2025 "Jun 11" or "6 Nov"?

Line 837 in 44261e7

"<div>" + date.toLocaleDateString() + "</div><br>" +

Using the following parameters to toLocaleDateString: undefined, {month:"short", day:"numeric", year:"numeric"} will resolve this.

We can see what's the best way to address this since the same date format is used in multiple places (in defining date range for programs for example, where it explicitly says the date is in mm/dd/yyyy formwat). On this particular page though, since this is the forecast page with multiple days of weather data, I thought it's clear: given that you see the dates of several consecutive days, which field is month should be clear.

Which field is the month will only be "clear" for US residents, or for other people who take the time to realise that the dates shown are not in their local DD/MM format and then need to examine two dates (not just one), compare them and realise the US-centric nature of them. Why not simply display dates in a format that is clear and unambiguous in the first place? Why not make it consistent with the date format on the front/home page ("Jul 03, 2025")? Why the pushback?

Hi!! I see where you're coming from, and figured the consistency with the home screen would be the best way to do it. I just committed that change in the attached multiDayETo branch, and it will go into effect when the update involving those changes goes live.

Thank you for considering the issue and incorporating my suggested change in your branch. I look forward to that being merged. Thanks again.
