            This works for me. Check your appid.

            {
            	module: "weatherforecast",
            	position: "top_right",
            	header: "Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil,France",
            	config: {
            		location: "",

              My appid is good because it works with the current weather.
              There are no other solutions?
              Thx Mykle1

                Copy and paste my config entry above into your config and DOUBLE CHECK your appid. That entry is working.

                EDIT! Working under MM 2.1.1

                  I have the same problem, even after deep investigations.

                  I can get current weather calling this :
                  http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

                  I can get forecast weather with 3h timepoints using
                  http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

                  BUT i cannot use daily forecast which is used by MM
                  http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
                  it returns : {“cod”:401, “message”: “Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.”}

                  it appears that daily forecast is not free (anymore ?) regarding openweather website.
                  https://openweathermap.org/price

                  Maybe it is a problem related to location ? I see that I actualy live just a few kilometers away from Aurelsam (Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil, France)

                    You can temporarly get around the problem by using 3h steps forecast (2nd link of my previous post) instead of daily, and by adding this to the weatherforecast.js :

                    in function processWeather,
                    after line var forecast = data.list[i];

                    add:

                    if (forecast.dt_txt.split(" ")[1] != “00:00:00”) continue;

                    (in config)
                    maxNumberOfDays parameter now counts timepoints (each 3h) and not days:
                    maxNumberOfDays: 4 // means 4 forecast points: 0h, 3h, 6h, 9h
                    maxNumberOfDays: 8 // means 8 timepoints of 3h = 24h = 1 day
                    maxNumberOfDays: 40 // means 40 timepoints of 3h = 120h = 5 days

                    You should also remove parameter check in the same script weatherforecast.js, which allow maximum 16 (for 16 days). it should be set to maximum 128 (timepoints) for 16 days.

                    example:
                    params += “&cnt=” + (((this.config.maxNumberOfDays < 1) || (this.config.maxNumberOfDays > 128)) ? 40 : this.config.maxNumberOfDays);

                      An oversight on my part. I was testing that in MM 2.1.1 and it WAS working. I just moved to MM 2.1.2 and it does NOT

                        Same problem here, for weatherforecast it shows incorrect appid, but same appid is working for current weather.!!!
