wttr is showing wrong info for my area when i click the taskbar icon on desktop even though it shows correct town. if I do curl in terminal with my town and state it then gives the correct info. Where do I edit the command in lxle? Thank you for the help.

I don't see weather.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/
-
I googled online I found the file here. ~/.local/share/applications thankyou works good.

i may have moved it last release... check .local/share/applications in your home directory

Ya I'll have to update the wiki.

Issue
I live in a small town "Bay City" my wttr.in was pointing to some other city also named "Bay City". The weather was much more warmer and really wished this was my weather as it is raining and cold here.
Solution
This problem is easy to solve. Navigate using the file manger to ~/.local/share/applications and right click the weather shortcut to edit in you text editor.
Find: Exec=uxterm -title 'Weather Forecast' -geometry 125x42 +sb -hold -e curl wttr.in
Add your personal zip code to the end of this line.
For example; Pleasant Valley, New York 12569
Exec=uxterm -title 'Weather Forecast' -geometry 125x42 +sb -hold -e curl wttr.in/12569
or maybe you live in Pleasant Valley, Michigan 49727
Exec=uxterm -title 'Weather Forecast' -geometry 125x42 +sb -hold -e curl wttr.in/49727
The default for Pleasant Valley is,
Pleasant Valley, Marion County, West Virginia, 26578

To LXLE: I've read all of the comments above, but I'm still not finding the weather app. It looks like it should be in /usr/share/applications, but it's not; I also don't find anything that looks like " ~/.local/share/applications " what or where is that? Thanks

Alternate Edit Using File Manger
I opened pcmanfm, clicked Applications in the Places sidebar to the left. Then navigate to Accessories. The address bar should read "menu://applications/Accessories" also the Weather link should be shown. Right click the link and change the properties.Thanked by 1Westport
