Weather info not showing up on screen

Yes clock works and other modules load. Oddly enough I was able to get the weather underground module working.

@mar4pack Do note, that the API used for the default weather modules are not foolproof, It usually takes time for the API-key to get valid and sometimes it will just stop sending data for your location. This will happen from time to time (as I have noticed) and this has nothing to do with the MagicMirror, the config or the modules, it’s just a lack of data from the service provider.

In my cases it usually works again in a 24H time period. (it has happen twice in 7 weeks)

I think @broberg may be right, unless you entered your API key incorrectly. As a test, I entered your location: "Midwest City, OK", and your locationID: "4542765", into my weatherforecast, using my appid: and it loaded right up without a hitch.

Still cannot get it to work. I created another appid and that does not work either. Entered both id’s in correctly and it wont load. Any other suggestions?

Even removing the header option altogether still worked for me. Below you see the location: empty and it still works.

{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				locationID: "4542765",  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
				appid: "MY API KEY"
			}
		},

Did you do an automatic install?
Manual install?
Upgrade from 2.1.0?

Automatic install. Following one of the guides on here where you end up removing unnecessary programs and cleaning up the pi a little bit.

@mar4pack

Yes, this one I assume.

It’s just odd that only the weatherforecast and currentweather modules are the only one’s giving you a problem. If you can live with WunderGround (which you were able to get working) then I would stick with that. If you prefer the former, then you can either try again from the beginning (I’m not suggesting you do, only offering it as an option) or you can file an issue. If you do want to try a new install you can try this one instead, if you wish.

Well, I got the weather underground at least up and going. Only thing I can see now with it is the forecast is all incorrect. Pretty sure its in the mid 70’s not the low 50’s. Not sure what is wrong within that module. Cant seem to find any help or info in regards to it.
