While FORECA loads much faster than MSN the forecast by MSN is much closer to my local forecast.
I'll be sticking with MSN.

@joecrow, I made a package update but it's bit odd. Well, you can try if there is a difference.

In 1.31 x64 Pre Release i have error in WorldWeatherLite:

12-Apr-2023 20:29:05.983 Error [  GUIWorldWeaterLite]: [weatherRefresh] Error: Не удалось загрузить файл или сборку "Newtonsoft.Json, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=30ad4fe6b2a6aeed" либо одну из их зависимостей.

Oh that library. I'm still on old v6. Need to update.

If it`s not to much to ask: Best provider imo is AccuWeather

AccuWeather is by far the most accurate in my area.

And for me, it's the other way around.
FORECA really give the city where I am, not MSN which gives more than 20 kms of difference

The WorldWeatherLite package updated to new Newtonsoft lib v13.

I remember this conversation from years ago, that's why there were multiple weather providers in the present world weather plugin.
I believe to use AccuWeather there had to be a AccuWeather logo.

Have installed 12.7 all looks good, though the wind speed is still in m/s.

Further to the discussion on the best provider, I used to use the original Weather-Lite on my HTPC which from memory only offered MSN , it always seemed to be 24 hours out and about 12 months ago it stopped updating at all for several days, came back but again stopped updating for over a week. In the end I gave up on it and set up a shortcut to the standard Windows weather app, Bing Weather, its a bit clumsy for navigation with a remote but the current condition is accurate and the forecast as good as any. I am not sure about the pros and cons of other providers but would suggest any would be preferable to MSN, FORECA certainly compares favourable with the forecast on my mobile which is not bad and has multiple options for localising my location..
