FCC weather API returns incorrect information

Why is this API so unreliable?
I have seen others complain about the same thing but nobody has nailed it like this before.
I dont believe it is anything to do with my code or my cache or my connection but please correct me if I am wrong.
If I hard code a specific value to the URL such as for lat=-27and lon=152 so my URL is

https://fcc-weather-api.glitch.me/api/current?lat=-27&lon=152

It returns different results at different times.
I am not an expert on this and I may be doing something wrong but please look at the screenshot which proves I have input one set of co=ords and the API has return a completely different set of co-ords.

Can someone come up with a reason or explanation for this please?
