HTC weather apps are well known for having very limited weather locations per area, because of this we used to modify the included weather data base.. but with the MT4G you can use the Current Location feature instead, as it will pull weather data for the local you are at. Personally I find the HTC Weather app limiting, I use Weather Bug, the paid version has no ads, it is highly customizable and shows a wealth of information.. the wigets are cool too
Try to find an app called "Go Weather" I havn't looked back since =D

Well, yeah. San Diego is Spanish. Its Spanish for Saint Diego, or more commonly, Saint Didacus of Alcalá. Apparently Saint Didacus coached the Chargers to their first back-to-back championship seasons in 1459 and 1460. I dunno. Sports History was not my strong subject in school.

Did you try to config the zipcode or your location on the widgets yet?
Weather widget works just for US. No other countries avalible.
edit: You can check supported locations at weather.gov
This is the place where weather widget gets information.
International version

new york weather in today calender... HOW THE HELL DO YOU CHANGE THE CITY
The weather is related with the time zone you use. For example, the city you choose to show the time, will be the weather one in the calendar. Try change for example to London and you will see...

problem is i'm not in the New York Timezone
Mine seems to match the cities I have set up on my weather tab.
that would make sense but mine doesn't... weird. oh well
I should clarify, it seems to be using the first city on my weather tab. Remove all the cities and just add yours. Now check your calendar.
that would make sense but mine doesn't... weird. oh well
Try a hammer. It will not show New York weather after that.

It has to do with the city listed in the World Clock.
First, click the clock on the home screen and add your city. Next choose it, and then delete NYC from the list.
Then check your calendar, it will now show that city in the calendar. If you add a bunch of other cities to the world clock and choose which one you are in when traveling, you will have that weather data on the calendar...
Yeah, i figured it out by accident last night. That's really kind of annoying that they make it like that.
OK got my city in there but now under "More Info" I have an error from Opera so does anyone know how to mod this setting? I know my city code but where do you put it in?...Thx...Tj

How do I get the city to update as I drive around? It is stuck to city I picked when I activated the phone?
I am using the Motorola preloaded weather app. I have not downloaded anything from the market yet.

#2 - Not if you sync w/ Google.

#1 you don't. You can add multiple cities and manually change them as you go, or you can download either the weather channel or weather bug apps as they do a much better job.

Make sure you have your weather setup to use the phones location not a zipcode.
How do I set that up? On the Dinc it was in your face and easy. On this thing it has lie 3 sub menus for every dam thing.
OK I am looking t it right now where is the option to use phone /gps location not zip I must be missing it.
Bump! This would be helpful to know being a newbie Droid guy.
I say just drop the motoblur crap n download fancy widget or beautiful widget, looks like htc sense clock widget with: temp, location & time all in one.

Yeah I don't have it either. But it's not a problem for me and probably most others lol. Maybe you can download it somewhere? I dunno dude.

I couldn't find it either, but I did find one called Advanced map that lets you select from a number of different map sources. Best part is that it's free. Here's the description:
Set your favourite map as a Live Wallpaper showing your current position. Maps include Ordnance Survey, Google, Satellite, Bing, OpenStreetMap, and USA VFR and IFR charts (aviation)
* Automatic position refresh
* Map caching (low data usage)
* Battery friendly (no GPS required)
* Zoom settings
* Smooth scrolling
* Traffic

You can search for it in the market or if you have a barcode scanner app you can go to the link I posted and scan the barcode there to pull it up.
It's worked pretty well for me so far.
Mine offered it after I installed brut maps.

thats not what i was asking but thanks anyway. what im asking is is there any way for the lock screen and your home screen to show the weather for another city besides the one you are in now?
soooo i figured out how to change the city on the famous clock/weather widget on the home screen all you have to do is hold the widget like you are going to remove it from the screen but instead drag it to "edit" in the top left and voila! you can also see full screen animations as an option which looks pretty cool

This is the exact same thing as gunnyman told you to do, you just got there in the more complicated way,
thinking outside the box...

not everyone has the means or resources for this method, but you could move to that "other city". very low-tech resolution.

I already have two other cities added in the weather app. I just wanted to know if there was any way to view say Miami's weather on my home screen when I'm in NY without having to select the weather app and go to the city. The way I said how to do it avoids having to click on the weather app because it shows it on the home screen.

No, Gunny was adding it to the App, he was adding it to the Weather Clock widget, they're different procedures.
