Describe the bug
It seems that for about a week or so, the buienradar image generation seems to produce a wrong image. The graph keeps indicating no rain expected and there is some extra text at the bottom that i can't fully make sense of.
I tried this for different locations in the Netherlands, using a M2 2.9" display.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior

‘Nederland’ is a place name in the USA. Please try with a valid Dutch city name.
other than that, sometimes the Buienradar API is broken for a few days. That’s out of our control.

I have exact the same issue, with a normal Dutch location (Hooglanderveen), it's broken for over a week now (it did work when it was raining last week). It looks exactly like the screenshot above.

To add on this: in my screenshot i used Nederland, the place in Overijssel to not give away my location, but it also has the same issue with other places like Utrecht.

Same here for Soesterberg. Probably buienradar changed something in their data, since i did not change the firmware on my AP...

Just compiled a new bin file with this fix. Works great again.
