Rainmeter ошибка подключения погоды

Last update 3 August 2023.

1. Update weather.com APIKey.
Many skins are using weather.com and they rely on the API key which sometimes gets changed. Many modern weather skins will have a WeatherComJSONVariables.inc file or a separate skin with settings where you can change the API key. But you mostly probably will need to look around the .ini and .inc files and replace the old key with the working one.
At the moment of writing, the working API key is:
21d8a80b3d6b444998a80b3d6b1449d3
After changing the key — save the file and refresh your skin.

2. Try another weather skin.
Try this skin that is 100% working right after you install it. No configuration needed.

How to Fix Rainmeter Weather Not Working?

The easiest fix you can try is restarting Rainmeter using the task manager. Restarting may not always work, so you can try the other fixes given below.

Try Switching to a Different Skin

To know if the problem is with the skin, you can try other skins for the weather. Preferably, you need to find a skin capable of getting data from weather.com. If the other skins work, you can remove the one with potential bugs and install a new one. 

To remove a skin from Rainmeter, follow these steps.

  2. Right-click on it and select delete.

To install a new skin from the internet, follow these steps.

  2. If the skin is in .rmskin format, Open it and click Install.
  3. If the skin is in .zip/.rar/.7z archive, extract it to the Rainmeter skins folder.

Clear Rainmeter Cache

There can be corrupted cache files in your Rainmeter settings. When the cache and the latest data do not match, the skins can misbehave. To clear the Rainmeter settings cache, you can follow these steps.

  1. Open run by pressing Windows + R on your keyboard.
  2. Type in “%APPDATA%” and press Enter.
  3. Go to Rainmeter folder.
  4. Delete the rainmeter.ini file.Rainmeter-ini-withFileLocation
  5. Restart Rainmeter.

Disable Anti-virus

Your anti-virus may recognize Rainmeter as malicious software. So, you can turn off your Anti-virus to check if the Rainmeter weather works. To disable Windows Defender, you can follow these steps.

  1. Open the start menu and search for Windows Security.
  2. Open the Windows Security app and select Virus & threat protection.
  3. Select Manage Settings.
  4. Turn off Real-time protection.Turning-Off-Realtime-Protection

The process may differ for third-party Antivirus software.

If your Antivirus software flags any Rainmeter skins, we recommend you stop using those skins. But, if you want to keep using them, you can exclude the Rainmeter folder from the virus scan so that the antivirus will stop blocking it. You can find the guide to excluding a folder on the antivirus support website.

Check if Your Router is Blocking Rainmeter

If your router has the option to block apps and websites, you’ll need to ensure that Rainmeter is not blocked in any way. You can go to your Router’s login page and check it.

The process differs according to the manufacturer of your router, so you will have to find the guide for your specific model.

Change the API Key

Weather.com updates its format often. So, your weather widget won’t work if the installed version of the skin still uses the old API key. You can check the page source of weather.com if it changes the API key again. Follow these steps to get the API key and change it to a new one.

  1. Go to weather.com
  2. Press Ctrl + U on your keyboard.
  3. Press Ctrl+ F and type and enter API.
  4.  Look for v3_API_Key and copy the value.
  5. Open File explorer and go to
    C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Rainmeter\Skins
    This is the default location for Rainmeter skins. The location will be different if you’ve changed it.
  6. Go to your weather skin folder.
  7. Open the @resources folder and open WeatherComJSONVariables.inc.
  8. Change the value of API key to 21d8a80b3d6b444998a80b3d6b1449d3.

Reinstall Rainmeter

Reinstalling Rainmeter is the last option. When reinstalling, the chances of the issue remaining unsolved will be greater if you back up your skins. So, we recommend you install all the skins one by one after the reinstallation is completed.

To reinstall Rainmeter, follow these steps.

  1. Go to the Start menu and open Settings.
  2. Click on Apps & Features.
  3. Look for Rainmeter and click on the 3-dots icon next to it.
  4. Click on the Uninstall button.Rainmeter-Uninstall

Rainmeter — программное обеспечение для настольных компьютеров, позволяющее создавать и настраивать скины (графические элементы) на рабочем столе. Погодные скины являются одними из наиболее популярных среди пользователей, так как позволяют получать информацию о погоде, прогнозах и других метеорологических данных на рабочем столе.

Однако, некоторые пользователи Rainmeter могут столкнуться с проблемой отображения белой точки в погодных скинах. Вместо актуальных данных о погоде, они видят только эту точку, что не предоставляет полезной информации.

Причины проблемы

Белая точка в погодном скине Rainmeter обычно возникает по нескольким причинам:

  1. Неправильный API-ключ: При использовании погодных скинов, которые получают данные с внешнего сервиса, вам может потребоваться API-ключ. Если указанный ключ недействителен или неправильный, скин Rainmeter не сможет получить актуальные данные о погоде и будет отображать только белую точку.

  2. Проблемы с сетевым подключением: Если ваше сетевое соединение нестабильное или отсутствует, скин Rainmeter не сможет связаться с сервером для получения данных о погоде. В этом случае он будет отображать либо белую точку, либо предыдущие данные о погоде, сохраненные в кэше.

Решение проблемы

Для устранения проблемы с отображением белой точки в погодных скинах Rainmeter рекомендуется выполнить следующие шаги:

  1. Проверьте правильность API-ключа: Если у вас есть API-ключ, используемый в погодном скине, убедитесь, что он верный и действующий. Проверьте, нет ли опечаток или других ошибок при вводе ключа.

  2. Обновите скин Rainmeter: Убедитесь, что у вас установлена последняя версия программы Rainmeter. В новых версиях могут быть исправлены ошибки, включая проблему с белой точкой в погодном скине.

  3. Проверьте сетевое подключение: Убедитесь, что ваше устройство имеет стабильное подключение к Интернету. Попробуйте загрузить страницу веб-браузера или выполнить другой сетевой запрос, чтобы убедиться, что проблема не связана с вашим интернет-соединением.

  4. Проверьте настройки фаервола или антивирусного программного обеспечения: Некоторые фаерволы или антивирусные программы могут блокировать доступ скина Rainmeter к Интернету. Проверьте настройки безопасности вашего устройства и убедитесь, что разрешены соединения Rainmeter с серверами, необходимые для получения данных о погоде.

  5. Свяжитесь с разработчиками скина Rainmeter: Если все остальные шаги не помогли вам решить проблему с отображением белой точки в погодных скинах, обратитесь за поддержкой к разработчикам конкретного скина Rainmeter. Они смогут предоставить инструкции или исправления для данной проблемы.

Хотя проблема с отображением белой точки в погодных скинах Rainmeter может быть раздражающей, она обычно решается с помощью приведенных выше методов. Следуя этим рекомендациям, вы сможете снова наслаждаться функциональностью и актуальной информацией о погоде на рабочем столе с помощью Rainmeter.
