The My Location weather setting has been working fine until recently...
It now says I'm in somewhere called Kone, when I'm actually in Madras (Chennai) at the moment.
I don't ever alter my clock time when I travel as it buggers up the time for events in the calendar, which I prefer to be at the time.
Any ideas what's wrong?
My Location is based on you closest weather station, not on your home location. In other words, if you go to some other city, your "My Location" changes to that new location where you are now actually located. I have the same situation, I like in town X but when I am actually at home it reads town Y which is next to my town but has a closer weather station.
Nope that helps.
Oops, sorry.

The weather has stopped appearing in the calendar day view and I have no idea why. I can't find any menu options to get it back. Anyone got any ideas?
Displaying of weather depends on configuration of local time in calendar, local time put on city, name of city in panel of weather in setups of local times like

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'd noticed this had happened on my phone as well, I suspect it's related to software I've installed but I've not had the time ( or motivation) to hard reset and start again one app at a time.

I had the same issue. Discovered it is related to the clock setting. If you select GMT time it will no longer display the the weather on the day view of the calendar tab. If you set your time by city it displays the weather (for the following 4 days.).
OK.. Here is my problem.
I set my location in TF3D as Boca Raton, FL (Eastern time zone).
Everything looks great, then I notice my appointments are off by several hours.
I go into the system clock setting and notice it is set to -12 (instead of -5 which Eastern time is).
I change it to -5 and then when I go back to my home screen my clock has chaned to being several hours off.
If I go into World Clock, it shows "LOCAL TIME" correct, but the city I added (Boca Raton) as now being several hours off.
How can I make this bloody phone understand that BOCA RATON is IN THE EASTERN TIME ZONE !!!!!
I feel your pain
Anyway, I turned the bloody locations setting off, and manually selected my location.
Under settings, location settings you can turn this off.
Since my location does not work anymore, weather for My location was also not being displayed correctly, so I used below register tweak to remove the "my location" from the weather tab.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0
I still have "my location" under the World Clock, however have my location selected manually. This keeps time correct all the time, and shows correct weather on my animated clock.
Hope this helps.

just tell all your appointments that you got stuck in traffic and will be a few hours late...no biggie...
Actually I found the solution on here.
The cities I had been picking were ones I added using the Weather Database Editor.
The weather location database is actually a small SQL database disguised as a manila file and it is used for more than just weather (ie: World Clock). Using the Weather Database Editor to add locations only adds some info into the SQL tables such as city, state, country, and weather code, but nothing for time zone.
Using a tool called SQLLiteAdmin I opened the database (on my PC, not phone) and added in the info for timezone, etc to the cities I had previously added.
Copied manila file back to phone. Rebooted and SHA-BANG!! It was fixed.
Oh if you go to the time & date settings under the actual Settings in WM 6.5, rather than through the Manila home tab interface, you can change the timezone there without a problem and then all of your appointments are correct.
I figured this out before, forgot about it, then figured it out again and it should be locked into memory now.

I used this thread to fix this same problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570771
I have the annoying time zone issue with my TP2. I edited the 2330fc3c file to add additional cities, including the same city that appears in My Location. However, the two have different time zones, that's right, same place but different time zones. Therefore, it appears that wherever the weather app gets its info from does not have the right time zone info for my city. So while my entry is correct My Location shows the same city but in a different time zone. Where does the weather app gets its info from? Maybe I can contact the source and have them check and update their info.
TIA.
HTC TP2 Home screen Weather won't use "my location" to update location via GPS
There are a handful of posts on this out there about this, but I want to see if anyone's willing to try some registry editing to fix this (or has any fresh ideas).
I have a Verizon HTC TP2 running Manila/Sense 2.5.20132227.0 (MR3 update). Actually, I have TWO identical handsets. On the one I'm using (less scratches on the screen), the Home screen weather is stuck on Boston (which is near where I live). I cannot get it to use "My Location" (update my weather based on my gps position). Note that the Weather tab works fine, and will update the top "My Location" page based on gps position. However, it won't display on the Home tab. One other note: on the Weather tab, the first page is My Location, the second is Boston. I cannot remove or rearrange either of these locations.
On the other handset, it works just fine. Note that I CAN remove/rearrange the Boston location on the Weather tab, unlike on the other handset.
I've poked around in the registry, and it looks like there are keys there to enable/disable My Location, but I haven't been able to get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas? Is someone more versed than myself in registry editing willing to figure out what settings I should change to fix this?
Thanks, it's absolutely driving me nuts.
As I know, Manila's weather tab decide your location via your IP address which the phone used to update the weather through internet, but not your GPS. So you may got a little error on your actual location via IP address.
You can delete Boston from the HTC World Clock setting panel(Just click the big clock of Manila)
"My Location" will always the first city, you can't arrange it or delete it. If you just want your city show first, for example：New York， just go to World Clock setting panel, add the city New York, and set it as default.
Can not for the life of me figure this out. My HTC 10 weather shows 2 locations- my current location, as well am my home city. I am unable to delete the 2nd location. I can turn my location off, and it with disappear from weather, however the second city always stays and can't be edited. Does anyone know how to remove this? I can't long press, and when I edit cities, it doesn't give me an option to delete.
Thanks!
Try this: Go to the phone's settings, Date and Time, and disable Travel Clock in the bottom. You may need to remove and re-add the clock widget if it doesn't work.
Also to delete cities from the clock app you have to select Edit Cities, and check the ones you want to delete.
