10.4: Use the Weather widget from non-USA locations
Authored by: Kool on May 03, '05 03:24:07PM

Remember that some cities have equivalents in other countries, such as Paris or Amsterdam. There are small villages in the US with these names. If the weather reported seems odd, make sure to add you country or state.

10.4: Use the Weather widget from non-USA locations
Authored by: stcanard on May 03, '05 03:35:38PM

As a Vancouver resident I found that out the hard way!

I was so impressed after installing tiger that it had automatically identified the city and was showing me Vancouver weather.

For 2 days everything was great, then things went wierd; one night it was raining according to the widget but I look outside and it's a beautiful clear night.

Took me about 2 minutes to figure it out ... it was raining in Vancouver Washington, not Vancouver BC...

Yep, Sydney, Australia = Sydney, New South Wales (not NSW) otherwise you get a Northern hemisphere location I know not where.
