image Location might be a bit... borked since I wasn't able to find more parameters for the link to give shorter stuff, and the equally worse Example if you wanna see the json http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/USVA0944?cc=*&unit=f&dayf=6&locale=en_US

I just realized the current WeatherLocation variable will always return error because you need to specify a Location Code and not your city name, will get to fix it once I'm not bored

Honestly, I'd just guide the user to find their weather code themselves. Otherwise you'd have to search for it every time Rainmeter starts.

Rainmeter stops halfway downloading the weather data and to fix that and also make it automatic like the original I added the abundance of updates and enablemeasures I think I detalied in earlier edits that you can find the other locations by just going to wxdata's link and replace the last part with their city and blah blah. I guess I'll just make them find the exact name of the city, not the LocId cause that's boring for me. ~~Good thing I haven't done anything with ip geolocations hehe~~

This has worked wonderfully for me. Literally changed a couple lines by hand in the way @Drgabi18 did and it is fully functioning. It fixes the Yahoo Weather problem!

Sadly, the weather API used here is not working anymore.

The API returns "This service is deprecated as of 01/15/2020" when you try to access it directly.
