yup, the yahoo weather api is acting up lately. you may have to retry a couple of times before you get a response.
i'll add some code to the addon that will handle it, so you don't have to do it manually.

HI,
The last post on this thread is way back in 2013. Yahoo is bankrupt and I've read that Verisan (spell ?) has bought them out.
I just installed Kodi 16.1 on my PC this week (Jan 2017) and I think Yahoo Weather is working. I live in Arizona US.
TIP
If you're new to this Yahoo add-on try placing your zip code in the location box if your City does not work.

I'm using Yahoo weather! to provide the forecast for 2 cities. I am also using it as a widget. On the submenu of that custom hub, I have a location switch item (Weather.LocationNext). The submenu item does not work unless, I first open the Yahoo Weather! add-on and click the location submenu item and switch locations. Upon returning to the widget, the location switch item now works. How do I get the submenu item to work without first going into the add-on?

i've seen that question being raised a few times before,
it's not an issue with the weather addon, but rather a limitation of kodi.

Hi all; I'm using the Yahoo widget in compact panel mode to display 7 days... anyone know how to change the font that is used to display the forecast? If "thunderstorms" is the forecast text, it fits fine [horizontally] in 1/7th of the panel but if "scattered thunderstorms" is the forecast text, it appears as "Scattered Thun..."
The font being used looks like an Arial or Helvetica font... I'd also like to try a different font but would appreciate any help on how to make this change. TIA!
