@igor_chubin, I think I may have found a #bug in your wttr.in service.
I ran ```curl wttr.in/desmoines```, but instead of returning the weather report for Des Moines, Iowa, USA, it returned the weather report for Ptolemaida, Greece.
Does your app fall back to a #FuzzyMatch #algorithm when it doesn't recognize the city name? If so, I think that's the cause of this issue. There's a street in Ptolemaida called "Desmoinis," and that's where the GPS coordinates at the bottom of that weather report point. Similar issue with wttr.in/losangeles, which returns results for a street address in Brazil.
After some tinkering, I discovered that inserting a hyphen between the words in multi-word city names (e.g., ```curl wttr.in/des-moines``` or ```curl wttr.in/fort-collins```) returns the expected weather reports.
However, some multi-word city names don't require hyphens. Ex: ```curl wttr.in/sanfrancisco``` (San Francisco, California, USA), ```curl wttr.in/newyork``` (NYC, New York, USA), etc.
