Just an FYI for the Rainmeter community....
Similar to last October 2019, I am starting to see a few weather locations failing with the following message being returned from the wxdata URL:
"This service is deprecated as of 01/15/2020"
So far I am only seeing this in a few locations, but just be aware it might be happening elsewhere.
UPDATE... I am now seeing this message in all locations in the US.
It is currently March 29th, 2024, 12:38 pm

Yep. Best to wait a while and see what happens.
Someone had done a skin by scraping the weather.com site. Anyone have a link to that?

Sadly, that may be our only alternative if TWC is serious about ending the feed...
Congratulations User Xenium! I hate to scrape sites, but you did it in a very smart way! Nice work!

Re: Weather.com WXDATA feed failing again
Right. I thought it is something only on my side, but now I see it is a general issue. Last time we have encountered a relatively long pause on weather.com, let's see how long it will be this time (supposing the service will be restored sooner or later - hope so).SilverAzide wrote: ↑January 15th, 2020, 3:53 pm Similar to last October 2019, I am starting to see a few weather locations failing with the following message being returned from the wxdata URL:
