If you have such a system up and running already you could try to modify it before ripping it out and starting from scratch.
Borrowing an idea from the machine learning approach you could additionally take the difference in average outside temperature yesterday and the average forecasted outside temperature today. Then multiply that by a weight (the machine learning approach would find this value for you but a single weight can also be found by hand) and subtract it from the target temperature before the division step discussed previously. Effectively saying "you don't need to heat as much today since it will be a little warmer".
I fear that's about all you can do with this approach without massively overcomplicating things.
...you say? 🤔
