Could someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? I'm 100% fresh to rainmeter, so just stumbling ahead while trying to figure out things.

Only thing I've changed (intentionally) and not changed back after figuring it didn't work is the:
http://rss.weather.com/weather/rss/local/NOXX0050?cm_ven=LWO&cm_cat=rss&par=LWO_rss

Don't know if I'm using the wrong url or what.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Figured out what was wrong, it was looking for the fonts in the wrong location.
The actual location was:
C:\Users\username\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Futuristic Cityscape\Circuitous

But it was looking for it in
C:\Users\username\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins\Circuitous

No idea how to set it to the right location, so I just copied the folder so that it would be "correct" about the location.

Hey guys, how are you all doing? I wanted to ask, because I really don't know and It's tiring to watch and do, is any proper code for weather? I don't want to just c/p a code, I just want to know where can I find a video or someone who can give me some examples, something to study, on making simple and good weather items for rainmeter. Thanks for your time and I hope I'll get some help on that.

Hi,
I'm using this template :https://www.deviantart.com/dd-921/art/Rainmeter-NUXHD-1-1-717447316
But I just can't make the weather work, I've also tried the solution of the developper that he posts under the template but it doesn't work (or may be I do something wrong)
PLEASE HELP ME !

All weather skins that use The Weather Channel are broken right now. A new set of templates will come out shortly that will fix the problem. Check this thread for a new version (one dated today or later).
