Hi, please let us know how we can improve further.

Improve weather forecast default location

It's impossible to change the location of my weather report. I already added my current location, and set my location as a default, but every time I search for the weather it keeps giving me the same wrong location, which I never visited and have no idea how it became my "never changing" location. Please help me! It's very bothersome to have to waste unnecessary time every time I want to see the forecast for my city.

        Having the same problem as everyone else. Please fix it.

        Your answer to original question was not helpful at all!

        What happened to the old weather program? My city plus any other city I name...always up there to see...???? I can't even get "weather" to name my right location. They pick a nearby town and have the wrong zip...What's up?

      • Frances Rushing HearnFrances Rushing Hearn commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        On the weather segment, you have me in Portland, Oregon. Never been there. I need the weather info. for Wynne, AR. 72396. About 2 or 3 thousand miles away from Portland. Hope you can fix this.

      • SandySandy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I just checked to see if there was a way on DASHBOARD weather report to change the location from Cupertino to my home, Landrum SC. Cupertino weather information is useless on the other side of the country. I just found that at least 89 other people have commented on the same problem. Hope you can fix it soon.

        My default location does not come up. What happened to query box asking if yahoo could use my location?

      • Danny SwaffordDanny Swafford commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I can't get my location to stay as my local weather . No matter how hard i try the wrong one showes up. I have even deleted the location that comes up but the weather keeps coming up any way. How do I fix this. I never had this problem before.

      • rayray commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Can't delete or change the city on my weather list. So many comments and concerns on this site and I still don't see an administrative response that addresses the problem.

        have same issue browser is google chrome have had 2 areas listed for years 34289 north port.fl and 19057 levittown,pa . on my yahoo page it comes up as murdock , fl and Florence,NJ and when you click for more detail new page has correct town with the right weather. This started about 2 months ago it is very annoying to say the least . I like yahoo but not this much to aggravating

        browser is mozilla firefox, latest version.
        live in cranberry township pa
        stupid weather thing is showing medina oh
        cannot change / correct it -- setting cranberry as default does NOT work.

      • Len DiVenereLen DiVenere commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        This Yahoo 'feature' is aggravating, frustrating, and completely unnecessary. Are you trying to tell us that Yahoo doesn't have the technology or technically trained personnel to fix this very common problem? And, how did it get to be "very common?" Who's minding the store?

      • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        The more Yahoo does to its functions (mail, weather, etc), the worse it all gets. Stop being so clever and make it simple!

      • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I am running Firefox 20.0.1. I am in area code 11581 (NYC suburb). I want 11581 = Valley STream to be my default... on the toolbar, it shows Shanghai! Although I have friends in Shanghai, I don't want to have to click to see my own area's current temperature and current weather... Thank you. Would greatly appreciate it if can reset the default.

        What a bunch of ****......We have warnings in our area but when we click on your "red" alert box we get a BLACK SCREEN......>WTF> had to go elsewhere to read we have major storm moving in. Thanks for NOTHING......

      • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I agree....fix it so you can type in your zip code an have an option to make that your permeate location logged in or not....Currently when not logged in I get Richardson, TX but when I login to yahoo I get my actual location of Purvis, MS zip:39475
