Does Weather widget no longer work?

[zapoqx]

So I have noticed for the past few days that it seems the weather widget isn't reporting anything. Part of me wonders if its my end for weather connection since I have been adding extra layers on the network, but even potentially fixing it according to my checks of where the widgets are trying to get from, it doesn't look like its getting where it should be even by whitelisting the supposed IP/Domains it seems to try to go to.

So is the weather widget dead for now or what?

The server that delivers the weather information may have changed their coding... they like to do that. Being a Rainmeter user for years, I've seen some of my favorite widgets get totally ruined because of a format change or a coding mismatch. Give the devs a heads up and be patient, they'll fix it as soon as they can.

Oh I've no problem with giving the devs a heads up (and hope GP sees this), but just one of those things if I don't ask to make sure its not just me, how else will I know? I just wanted to eliminate possible user-side error was all.

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to imply anything like that... Just that no, you're not alone. ^_^

hmmm Just to update, it seems he does know and now that I'm looking at the thread, the service did discontinue so... I guess we'll be waiting...?

oh hi!
Guess we may meet the same question.I haven't seen the weather data and other data like temperature and humidity.
I thought I might cancelled something or my computer was broken.But now I know I'm not the only one....Hope they can fix the bug as soon as possible..I like this function so so much..

The weather data source provided by Weather Data Extension will be unavailable currently.
I hope the IBM company will restore the weather public service soon (just like what happened in 2018), but if it doesn't, we will look for another weather service later.

Thanks for the official update GP!

What you think about AccuWeather as alternative?

The AccuWeather and most weather services require a API key, that means every (SAO Utils) user has to sign up first, which is quite complex for common users.

The weather service should be fixed now, please restart SAO Utils to allow Steam to apply this update :)
