I checked the feature and I forgot, you have to select your reporting station when your logged in and it will set that to your default weather report from then on unless you change it.

When your logged in click here and pick the closes station to you:

It's 89.96°F degrees and 52.08% himidity outside my house. Glad it's not above 90 because that would be hot.

it's 95° F, 56.38% humidity heat index of 110 in Iowa, around here we like it around 95° and 95% humidity (keeps the riff- raff out) they just finished a bicycle ride (RAGBRAI) across the state (440 miles) in seven days it's a rolling drinking party mostly, former tour de france champ Lance Armstrong rode a couple of days

Welcome Tony. Glad you're here. Nice lookin' ride. Might I suggest that you replace the sump filter screen if you haven't already done so. If it's original, then it's probably torn.

Hey Russo, I didn't know about changing the weather for my local. Pretty cool. Btw, it was 104 while I was in traffic this afternoon and I work in this heat all the time.
