The extension fetches its data from Yahoo! Weather. On their website
(weather.yahoo.com), I get the following information for Moscow and for
today: sunrise at 06:16, sunset at 22:37. This is indeed the information
that is displayed by the extension.

I have tried another source of information (weather.com), and it gave me
the following: sunrise at 5:13 and sunset at 9:41.

So indeed there is a one hour discrepancy between the two sources. I
don’t know Moscow enough to decide which one is the right information,
but I understand from your message that you consider the second one as
right.

If there is a bug, it is therefore not in the extension, but at Yahoo!
Weather. I doubt we can do much at the Debian level. If you have a
suggestion, please let me know, otherwise I will close this bug report.
My opinion is that the right fix is to contact Yahoo! and tell them
about the problem.

Cheers,
