What is your location?

The skin uses black color for the font.
Yes, indeed, it perfectly works. And detects automatically the location. Not the best detection in my case, but more or less it detects the location.
What was not good in my case is that I have an almost black background, so as xenium said, it is hard to realize the skin is showing the information. But it does, so works perfectly. Not even error messages in the log.

Yeah, I'm also facing the wrong location issue. The Lumiero Weather (https://www.deviantart.com/hiphopium/art/lumiero-828277050) worked well from the past few months, but now all of a sudden, it's showing the wrong location. My device location is also turned On and I also gave location access to the yahoo weather page; lumiero fetches data from https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather . Here my problem is, it's not fetching the exact location. Can you please help me with this !?

On the Yahoo page choose Change location, enter your location and select it. Then copy the link from the address bar
Right click on the skin and choose Edit skin
Go to [MeasureWeather] and replace at URL= ,the existing link with the copied link.
Save ,close ,refresh skin

Yeah, it's working. Thank You! :)
Is it possible to detect and use the current location automatically? How can I do that?

Before changing the link you have automatic location detection:

URL=https://www.yahoo.com/news/weather

But often it does not display the exact location.
