Set Weather Location

Choose the saved places you want weather for, and remove the ones you no longer need.

The Set Weather Location popup manages the list of places the app looks up weather for. You add a place by searching for it, see everything you have saved in one list, and delete anything you have stopped watching. When you are finished, Done hands your list back to the screen that opened the popup so the weather there refreshes against your choices.

Overview

Control	Purpose
Location list	One row per saved location, showing its name
Delete button on a row	Removes that location, after confirmation
Add New Location	Opens location search to find and add a place
Done	Closes the popup and hands your list back

Detail	Behaviour
Order	Newly added locations go to the bottom of the list
Stored with each location	Its name plus latitude and longitude to four decimal places
Popup height	Grows and shrinks with the number of rows, so there is no wasted space
Empty state	The list area is simply blank until you add your first location
Theme	Follows your Theme choice, so it opens light or dark to match the app

Getting Here

1. Open the weather feature or the settings area where weather locations are configured.
2. Choose the option to set or manage weather locations.
3. The popup appears over the current screen, listing whatever you already have saved.

Add a Location

1. Tap Add New Location.
2. The location search screen opens in weather mode.
3. Search for the place you want and choose it from the results.
4. You are returned to the popup and the new location has been added to the bottom of the list, with its coordinates stored for weather lookups.
5. Repeat for as many places as you need.

note

The new row appears the moment you come back from search — there is nothing else to confirm. Coordinates are rounded to four decimal places, which is accurate to roughly ten metres and plenty for a forecast.

Remove a Location

1. Find the location you want to remove in the list.
2. Tap its delete button.
3. An alert titled Delete asks "Are you sure you want to delete this location?" with two buttons:

Button	Result
Delete	Removes the row and clears the weather data stored for that place
Close	Keeps the location

caution

Deleting a location also deletes the weather readings the app has saved for it. If you add the same place back later, its forecast is fetched fresh rather than restored, so it may briefly show nothing while it reloads.

Save Your Selections

1. When the list reflects the places you want, tap Done.
2. The popup closes and your list is handed straight back to the weather screen that opened it.
3. That screen uses the list to decide which places to show and refresh.

tip

Keep the list to the areas you genuinely monitor. Every saved location is another forecast to fetch and store, so a short list keeps weather updates quick and your offline data small.

How This Connects

• Where the data comes from. Location names and coordinates come from the app's location search. The forecast itself is fetched from the weather service against those coordinates and stored on the device, so it is available offline.
• What updates it. Weather for every saved location is refreshed in the background after sign-in and data sync — see Downloading Data — and again when the Weather module opens.
• Which other screens share this. This list is the source for the whole Weather module: Weather, Weather Tabs, Weather Details and Weather Timeline all report on the places you save here. Removing a place removes it from those screens too. Zone-based alerts are managed separately in Weather Zones.
• Location search is shared. The search screen used by Add New Location is the same one used elsewhere in the app for picking a place, for example in Map Location.
• Offline and reconnect. Adding and deleting locations works offline, because the list itself lives on the device. Searching for a new place needs a connection, and so does fetching the forecast for a newly added location — that arrives the next time weather refreshes after you reconnect.

Troubleshooting

If this happens	What to do
The list is empty	Nothing has been saved yet — tap Add New Location to add your first place
Location search returns nothing	Searching needs a connection; reconnect and try again, or search for a larger nearby place
A place you added is missing from the list	Make sure you chose a result in search rather than backing out, then check the bottom of the list
Weather shows nothing for a place you just added	Its forecast has not been fetched yet; reconnect and reopen the Weather module
You deleted a location by mistake	Add it back with Add New Location; the forecast reloads from the service rather than being restored
The popup will not close	Use Done — that is what closes the popup and hands your list back
Changes did not reach the weather screen	Tap Done rather than dismissing the popup another way; the handover happens on Done
Weather updates feel slow	Trim the list to the places you actually watch — every location is another forecast to fetch
