Can't find my weather code

Post by G3TBEASTED »

I'm using Circular skin and it uses Accuweather but says the code is in the URL which it is not. anyone have any ideas how to get the weather code?

The Accuweather feed for Rainmeter was shut down several years ago. If you want to continue using the Circular skin for weather information, you'll need to put some effort into converting the skin to use an alternative source. Popular services include Weather.com, WeatherUnderground, and Yahoo! Weather.

Here is the code I use to get information from Yahoo! Weather. You can look up location codes for Yahoo's feed using this site.

Well, first, read this tutorial so that you understand how to read Rainmeter skins in general.

You should be able to simply paste the measures in that file into your skin, then change the #CurrentCode# variable to match the weather code for your location.
