Hi Wolak.
I've resolved this issue clearing my personal "Encoding" value and setting valid "Longitude" and "Latitude" values in the "General Settings" on the Weather module.

Hope this helps.

Can you disable cache setting in module settings > external files > use cache "off" and see if its still causing problems.

Also if you are not aware Google Weather Api servers are having problems recently so problem could be caused by if module cannot get any xml data from servers.

See you around...

As I have explained problem is with google server api as they are thinking of stopping igoogle and any gadgets api used in that service which weather api is part of it.

You can see this error popup in or around 7 August all of a sudden including with other developer / extension builders weather module or modules using similar Google Api's.

If you search the error number we are not the only developer who is having problems with weather module and same error number.

We will still investigate this but currently there is no possible fix for this.

See you around...

Issue is probably related with news weather API from wunderground.com who is a official provider of feed for google. I think that problems with feed availability can be also related with plans about iGoogle product (api was created for one of igoogle widgets).

Hi. Thank you for your reply.
I decided to change from google to yahoo because it is more stable.

I have a question where can I change the language settings - I can not translate because I do not know where to look - translated as I could but the rest I do not know where to look

and how to set that showed the 4 icons - now there is 1 large and 2 small and I'd like 4 small as I had with google

thank you

ps. my site www.brzozowiana.pl <-- you can see how its looks like.

Yahoo weather support forecast only for 2 days so the layout exactly the same like in previous version is impossible (with 4 icons). Are you sure that you've translated module file in root/languages/en-GB directory ? Remember to copy new lang file there during module update.

yes - i`m sure - in that category in "en-GB.mod_weather_gk4.ini" we can not find the "mist" word.
maybe somewhere else i should search it but i don`t know where... ?

and regarding changing icon - if i can not change the amount of icons, how to change the description of this 2 icons?
for example :

now i have :
4
Wrz
2012 <--(how to del this)
ICONS
temperature

so i wlould like to have :
4
Wrz
ICONS
temp.

Date returned from yahoo API is in this format without custom changes in code you can't delete this part. I've checked the weather codes on yahoo API (http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/) and don't see here any 'Mist' option. But maybe the API is to up to date.

I suspect that the API description is up to date. Did you get any other weather statuses which are not translated ? I think we need collect this missing API parts and then release an update.

as for now its only "mist"and "rain shower" - if i see new other one i give you know.

is there possible to add new lang code in language ini file ? or you need to create new update for all module.
maybe easier will be add few new code line in ini file ?

It demands changes in code and in language file to match data from yahoo to translations from .ini file.

I'll write a mail to yahoo - maybe they can give us updated weather statuses list. We can translate only this parts which are listed on API pages or mentioned here because there is no easy way to test all weather conditions :)
