New Location Experience for Weather

Dear Yahoo Weather users,

We are pleased to let you know that Yahoo has changed the websites to provide you by default with information about your current location. As you travel, Yahoo always wants to show you the most relevant content based on where you currently are.

Yahoo receives information about your current location based on/off the IP address provided by the Internet service provider (ISP) you use to connect to the Internet, and if you use our mobile applications, through your usage of our mobile applications. All location data is private – we will not share it with your friends or contacts or post it publicly without your permission. Usage of this information is governed by our Privacy Policy.

Your existing default location has been migrated to My Location on the left navigation bar.

If you don’t think we’ve got your current location correct, please follow up the two steps below to fix the location and also let us know:
To click “Detect my location” link on the left navigation bar.

Or, on the Location settings page click on “Detect”.

At Yahoo we try to provide the best possible services to our users. Please don’t hesitate to let us know how we can improve Yahoo Weather further by providing your suggestions below.

Best Regards,

  1. temperature always min. 7°C off

    the shown temperature for 9872 millstatt, austria is always way lower than it actually is. what's frustrating is that this is a beach-vacation location. many people won't come here because they think it's too cold! that costs us b'n'b owners lots of customers. please look into this issue.

    • GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF WEATHER! I have not been able to view home location or others I monitor all week. This is not working.

      GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF WEATHER! I have not been able to view home location or others I monitor all week. This is not working. Help function is of no use and why do I want Yahoo to 'detect my location'. The info presented is not even close to my home location.

                • Fix location detection

                  The weather app always guesses the wrong location. It doesn't need to guess; the location is already known to Yahoo and to Weather Channel.

                    • Dear Yahoo Weather Team I noticed an important bug in your system

                      Dear Yahoo Weather Team,
                      There is a bug in your system: I live in Arkhangelsk (Russia), and when I look the Yahoo weather forecast, it always shows the night picture. Could you please manage it? It's very distressing to see the eternal night in your home place.
                      Best wishes,
                      Tatiana

                            • I hate everything about this new weather feature. It fails in every important respect.

                              First, the module will not auto refresh on the "home" page (why would it when nothing else does?). Second, it gives too little relevant info. The icons are misleading (does the rain indicator mean 20% or 80%? not clear). You have to click through to another page to get a one-sentence explanation of the forecast, but it is next to impossible to get the same clarification for the following day. Finally, when I compare these forecasts to those offered by local TV network affiliates, yours do not match. For example, today's radar currently shows a large line of thunderstorms about…

                                let us choose a default location and turn off ip autolocation,it gives wildly varying locations, sometimes not even the right country, on starting my browser. i have a usb gps it could use but doesn't. my gps sets the browser location correctly and google uses it, but i have to 'detect' in yahoo a few times till it gets it right, butr it doesn't save it.

                                  • Your weather page sucks. Show MY weather. I don't live within 700 miles of the location that shows up on my weather page. Fix this #@$%#$.

                                    Fix it. Yahoo will always be bad unless someone who knows what there doing is in charge. I WANT MY LOCAL WEATHER NOT WEATHER FROM 700 MILES AWAY. I SHOULDN"T HAVE TO RESET EVERYTIME I WANT LOCAL WEATHER. GE A CLUE.
