How do I find my location ID?
Inside the United States (and in US territories), your weather ID is simply your zip code. If you live outside the United States, here's how to find out your location ID:
- Visit Yahoo! Weather and search for your location using the field shown above.
- Once your location's weather has loaded in your web browser, your location ID will be visible in the address bar of your browser. You're looking for the part highlighted below, after "forecast/" and before ".html".
- Select just this portion of the address, right click the address bar, and select "Copy". Then right click the "Zip Code or Yahoo! Location ID" text box in the Simple Weather Applet's preferences dialog box, select paste, and click OK. The current weather for your location should load immediately!
