PLEASE READ THIS!
In this short video review, you can see how is simple to change settings, and how to change the location manually, if for some reason automatically location is obtained wrongly:
As you already know, wxdata.weather.com/ as a weather source doesn’t work anymore.
And because of that, I decided to make one small weather skin as an alternative for personal use.
This skin uses old good Yahoo as a weather provider.
How does this alternative work?
First of all, weather locations will be automatically obtained. Also, if for some reason location is wrong, you can always find and edit the location manually.
This alternative, don’t use Foreca, AccuWeather, DarkSky, ClimaCell, Weatherbit, Open Weather Map, The Weather Channel, Wttr.in, Weather2umbrella, and so on.
You don’t need to make an account to use this alternative. You don’t need to have your own API key. You are not limited to 100 or more calls per day.
Everything is free and simple.

Skin Details & Instructions
The Weather Alternative rainmeter skin was developed and created by ApexXx-SenSei and was originally published on DeviantArt Jan 21, 2020.
To open up and configure any settings for the Weather Alternative theme, simply double click on the time, date or day of week. Once clicked, you will be presented with a popup with all the settings to configure Weather Alternative to your needs.
For the Weather Alternative weather widget to work correctly, you need to set your weather code within the settings menu.
Yes, the Weather Alternative rainmeter theme does support Spotify however you won’t be able to see the progress of the song. Only the buttons (stop, pause, skip) and song name will work. To fix the progress bar issue you will need to configure the variables within the player.ini to webnowplayer or use spicetify widget.
You can resize any Weather Alternative widget (date, time, day of week text, recycle bin and Spotify) by scrolling your mouse UP and DOWN.
