I think Yahoo Weather is not working any more. Although it seems that something is messed up in your URL, I'd be tempted to say to replace the URL with the proper Weather.com URL. For this, try to replace the URL and the RegExp options of the [MeasureWeatherRSS] measure with the following ones:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
...
Url=http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Unit#&dayf=1
RegExp=(?siU)<weather ver="(.*)">.*<dnam>(.*)</dnam>.*<lat>(.*)</lat>.*<lon>(.*)</lon>.*<sunr>(.*)</sunr>.*<suns>(.*)</suns>.*<zone>(.*)</zone>.*<tmp>(.*)</tmp>.*<flik>(.*)</flik>.*<t>(.*)</t>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<moon>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<t>(.*)</t>.*</moon>.*t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">.*<hi>(.*)</hi>.*<low>(.*)</low>
You didn't post the content of the Variables\Default.inc file. To can use my above posted URL and RegExp options, add to the [Variables] section, the Location and Unit variables. Location is your weather location code, while Unit is equal either with m (metric - for temperatures in Celsius degrees), either with i (imperial - temperatures in Fahrenheit degrees).
If you do so, you also will have to replace the StringIndex options of the [MeasureWeatherDesc] and [MeasureWeatherTemp] measures. Use the following values:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWeatherDesc]
...
StringIndex=10

[MeasureWeatherTemp]
...
StringIndex=8
Two other observations:
  • I think something is missing from your code. The

    Code: Select all

    ;SolidColor=0,0,0,50
W=300
H=50
X=0
Y=0
    options, below the [MeasureWeatherTemp] measure, don't belongs anywhere. Especially not to a measure, these being options of a meter.
  • The Author options don't belong anymore to the [Rainmeter] section, but to [Metadata]. Move it there, because in the [Rainmeter] section it is deprecated.

There are two problems with the posted code:
  • The location must have the XXXXNNNN form, where XXXX are four letters and NNNN are four digits. You can use the following site to find the needed code worldwide: https://weather.codes/. If you found it, just replace the value 35300 in the URL option of the [MeasureWeatherRSS] measure with the new one.
  • You've forgot to replace the StringIndex values of the [MeasureWeatherTemp] and [MeasureWeatherDesc] measures. Once again, use the following values:

    Code: Select all

    [MeasureWeatherTemp]
...
StringIndex=8

[MeasureWeatherDesc]
...
StringIndex=10
And a few more, smaller problems:
  • Remove the

    Code: Select all

    ;SolidColor=0,0,0,50
W=300
H=50
X=0
Y=0
    options, below the [MeasureWeatherDesc] measure, because they are options of a meter, but above you have a measure.
  • The Author option should be moved from the [Rainmeter] section to [Metadata]. Once it belonged to [Rainmeter], but newly it's deprecated there, belonging to the [Metadata] section.
  • The !Exceute bang and the !Rainmeter prefix are also deprecated. Remove them.

Many times the code is not enough (for example now), because this one for example, has a lot of included files (like Default.inc or Styles.inc). Not knowing them, is hard to figure out a good solution. However I'll try.
So, try to modify the values of the W and H options of the [Desc] meter. These options set the width and height of the string meters. If these are set too small and the string is long enough, it has no place to be entirely shown, that's why it's clipped. Try to increase them. Give it a few tries to see if you can find a good value.
If you don't succeed, please pack the whole config and upload it. It'd be much easier for me to check what's happening.
