Sounds like what happened with Winstep's module, Chuck. Can you switch it to METAR as in Winstep's weather module? If not, maybe Jorge would know how to accomplish that.

Hmm, both the METAR (for current conditions) and the MSN (current conditions + 5 day forecast) feeds are still working for the Winstep weather module.

RainMeter is probably using a Weather.com feed and that is normally behind a paywall.

Weather feeds have been a real headache. The Winstep weather module originally supported NOAA (METAR), Google, Yahoo, Weather.com, and MSN for redundancy, but one by one those services were either shut down or moved behind paywalls, leaving only METAR and MSN still usable.

Is there any way to switch RainMeter's feed? Plenty of our folks use it...

Messenger:

Jorge: I think it depends on the script the widget is using... if the widget doesn't allow him to edit that, he will have to ask the author. Also, even if he can change the script, if the widget is using weather.com changing it to MSN will not help, as the format of the data that needs to be parsed is completely different.

Dang, This is not good news. I always have rainmeter weather running. I hope there is a fix soon.

Best way to find out is to ask the dev or Rainy's forums. If you get an answer, please update us.

It's working here in Norway/Europe

Not in Ohio, USA None of the weather skins i have work.  

Works here in Israel.

Not working in the USA it would seem. I don't know why.

Chuck, I am not seeing anything mentioned on Rainmeter's website either.        

Might be interesting if you downloaded and installed Proton VPN (free and excellent), so you can emulate being outside the USA...

Yes, that'll work...the person in the USA will be able to get the weather feed for China...

Me thinks it's like real estate....location, location, location...;)

Since Rainy' weather works in Norway and Israel by using the VPN the weather service will supply Valparaiso, IN weather while Chuck pretends he's in wherever outside the USA ...say, Norway.

"You choose your location via the VPN.A VPN protects your online privacy by hiding your real IP address and encrypts your internet traffic so you can browse privately, avoid being tracked across the internet, and stop your browsing data from being sold to advertisers.

With Proton VPN, you can also bypass censorship and access websites that might be blocked in your country.

How does a VPN work?

When you use a VPN app on your device, it establishes an encrypted connection to a VPN server. This connection is made over the internet, and is often referred to as a VPN tunnel.

This VPN server handles all DNS queries and acts as an intermediary that sits between your device and the internet, routing your data to the correct destinations. Here's how.

Connect

Connecting to a VPN links your device to a VPN server run by a VPN provider, like Proton VPN. The connection between your device and the VPN server is fully encrypted and protects your data as it moves between the two.

Conceal

The VPN server sits between your internet service provider (ISP) and the internet. This blocks your ISP from seeing your online activity and websites you visit from seeing your real IP address and location.

Circumvent

By connecting to a VPN server in another country, you can bypass local censorship, effectively 'spoofing' your geographic location." - https://protonvpn.com/what-is-a-vpn

I have asked around in the RM community by PM to some experienced skinners and hopefully I can update you with some news shortly. Stay tuned. 

It's working here in Canada.

Juast a long shot, but have any of you tried to go into settings and change the code for the location like you would do with any new downloaded skin? Weather.com and/or others may have changed their codes for locations in the US.

An intresting thought, Jan..

My coding is different. I do have resources but it doesn't look like the one you have. On mine there is no API or URL or Latitude and Longitude.

Do you have the latest version, Chuck?

Yes. Doesn't work.

The only thing that worked is when I got ProtonVPN and switched to Canada. I logged out of my computer to see how the VPN would come up. I got the VPN up but every time I tried to switch countries a window came up saying I would have to pay to access that feature. That's really not free.

I'm sick of the whole thing. That coding that was posted didn't work. I have the latest version on Rainmeter. 

I can't afford to pay for a VPN. It's ridiculous this is happening at all. 

Wow. That's really a sneaky rip off, but I'm glad my suggestion worked. Proton free states: 

•  

  1 device

•  

  No ads

•  

  No logs

•  

  Unlimited and free forever

• Did you put it on just one device, Chuck? From their site, if you want choice of country then you have to pay. The wording is sneaky. You do get one country free, though and if that works, what's the problem?.
• One thing...when a VPN is "free", just like browsers, you're the commodity as is your traffic.
