Hope this helps that the problem is between 6PM and 7PM.
If you look at Tomorrow's date in the evening (long before midnight) it shows the date for the day after tomorrow. So, if you look at say, 7PM, the date will show the date for the day after tomorrow.

Any fix?
where did you download the Weather Channel Program ?
NealAFawcett explained the problem here one year ago (next page) and VClouds told me it was a problem with weather.com (the only thing to do was waiting for a fix by them); but today, the problem is not solved.
Anyone have the same problem and know how to solve it ?
Thanks for answer and sorry if my english is perfectible.

But it shows me old data
I can change color and position and font size on anything, but I can't change the update rate from the temperature.
It is 10.30 am at my place, and it shows me the data from 9am...
And I don't know how to change it, when I go to weather.com I have another temperature then what VClouds shows me, So where can I change the update rate to every 15 minutes or something?
Because around the net I fond about hundrets of comments about how to set the location, but not one working way to change the update rate for today...

But, how can i make it bigger, using 5 daysH ?
Best wishes.
I updated the latest version of Rainmeter (4.0), but it also makes the previous one. I tried everything possible, reinstall too. After a short time it was normal all return to this state, after next pc restart. What it may be related? Graphic card driver I did not change. Until yesterday everything went normally. I have Windows7_64ult.sp1. Consider this RMweather skin as by far the best I've ever tried, I use it for years
Thx for any help. Peter
I solved a similar thing some time ago.
It succeeded in setting the delayed start of Rainmeter of 30sec, by 3th party sw. In my case Glary utilities, which I use for different settings in my pc. If you need to help, let me know (anche in italiano). Now I have another issue I describe it above...
So it will look like this:
[Meterdate+2]
MeasureName=MeasureDate+1
After refreshing, the dates should be correct. The only exception is "Tomorrow", which doesn't show a date at all if you use +0 instead of +1.
Keep doing your brilliant work. thanks & regards.
You can manually edit and delete the entire LOADING section in the bottom part of the INI file (right click the skin > edit skin)
Keep doing your brilliant work. thanks & regards.
Infact the current weather description is missing to eg: "Partly Cloudy" - Probably part of the same issue!
Other days (eg: next three days) all seem to be displaying OK!?
