Rainmeter Weather is broken

Until there's some sort of solution I'm going back to Xwidget for my weather widgets.

RIP WEATHER WIDGETS  

I think this is the end of the weather widgets era. You may check this link: wxdata.weather.com.

So any widgets that uses xml feeds from weather.com (DX, Rainmeter, etc...) will not work from this day. And we are unlikely to wait for a solution to this problem...

XWidget weather is working fine. Cannot upload to WC. For personal use only, for now.

Thank you! But it useless for me... I need more detailed weather data like 10 days/night, hour-by-hour (up to 48 hours), weather maps, moon phases, etc... So, I'll try to explore the capabilities of MSN Weather. Their service seems pretty powerful and still free.

I understand. Your Weather widgets have been the most detailed that I've seen.

have you looked at weather unlocked  It's not 10 day hour by hour, It is 8 day every 3 hours.  Currently trying to use it to patch the weather skin I have on my system right now.

Just wait at few days the service may come back later. About October of last year,same thing happened,"deprecated.....",then few days later,it was back. 

Wonder what Jorge uses with Winstep Weather?

It works fine for Winstep. Maybe Jorge is paying?

and XWidget weather works fine as well.

I'll be slowing down on Rainy and Rainmeter widgets in general because I can't afford to buy every Master Skin that's released.

If Weather.com fails it pulls from MSN.  If you hover over the module so that the additional info pops up, it shows you the source it's using.  At the moment it looks like it's using MSN.  Jorge describes the hoops he's jumped through in reply#25 here (October):

I can confirm it is broken on the weather gadgets i have made as well.  

I got Super Duper Weather!!!

Wow, that's big!  Xwidget?

Yes Sir it is. Just mucking about.............  

Is there a solution for Rainmeter?   My Rainmeter skins by xenium still seem to be working, evidently knows and uses a different service.     And, XWidget  weather skins are still working for me.  So hopefully Rainmeter will solve the problem soon.

What's frustrating to me is that XWidget weather is working just fine. XWidget uses Accuweather. I understand why we can't post XWidget widgets on WC. I have no idea how that deal could work. It won't ever happen.

Here's an explanation and some skins that have been re-coded to work with the Weather Channel.

Thanks monkeyman!!   This is good news!

I've been following that forum. So far it doesn't help me fix what needs to be fixed for the 16 weather widgets I've recently uploaded. I've looked at the new coding and it's way different from what was. Mine would have to be completely reworked. If the wxdata feed doesn't come back in a few days I'll just pull those 16 weather widgets. Going forward I'll see if they can be rebuilt. I'm not holding my breath that the wxdata feed will return.

I too have widgets that no longer work  . I've tried dissecting working stuff but with no luck (only know enough about coding to change the code in DX). If you figure it out can ya let me know? Much appreciated.

Yes it's a bummer. I've decided that it would take too much of my time to figure out how to skin weather widgets in Rainmeter now. The coding is different than it was and I'm not devoting myself to learning it at this point when there is an alternative  which is XWidget.

I have a bunch of non working weather in my gallery of over 1500 skins.  I have been slowly working to weed them out. Takes a lot of time.

Too bad one can't sort them by type, then eliminate them all at once.

This thing happens too often, I don't think I will do any more weather widgets/gadgets.

Funny how July Weather still works. Always has.

Did this monkeying around with XWidget and made this using another for a template but still can't figure out how it works LOL
