My Weather Meter skin uses the exact same set of files/code to grab the weather data, so if it works, then the fault lies with my Weather Meter skin (make sure you are using v5.5.1 of the Gadgets;...

It's in the root config folder for that Gadgets suite. That will be in your ..Documents\Rainmeter\Skins folder somewhere.
