P2A can't read MSFS SIM weather, but can read the Rex Wx.

Check the metar_report.xml file pointed to in your Wx Config settings and see what is in that file.  It may be different from what is displayed in the REX Wx app if the read times are different.  

You can also try changing to NOAA weather, then back to REX weather to see if a fresh read of REX weather gets them in sync.

There is always the possibility that they will be off a little due to timing of the reads.  In any case, you should use the altimeter given by ATC since that is what is used by the program to calculate altitudes, etc.
