When I visit Weather Underground, www.wunderground.com, I see in big, bold letters the name of a station and weather that's not mine, Budokan, Japan. (The temperature is also much higher than the correct temperature. Budokan is a sports arena.)
I've reset my home location and favorites multiple times, but this location, Budokan, Japan keeps showing up on wunderground.com. Nothing I seem to be able to do fixes this problem of seeing the wrong location.
Can anyone tell me how to fix Wunderground's incorrect opening page location?
Thanks.
Bill

Hi
Go to "My Profile" > "Member Settings" > "Home & Favourites"
You should be able to set your location there.
Dont forget to save the changes by clicking on the Save Home Location button.
Also check the correct location of your own weather station.
Hope this helps

John,
Thanks for your reply. To avoid any ambiguity, I set and saved my home to Haneda Airport (HND). My personal weather station is also set correctly to where I live.
I also checked: Budokan is set neither as my home location or as a favorite.
And yet Weather Underground still shows Budokan, Japan on the opening page.

It may be looking at where the ISP signal comes from. When I had CenturyStink they had my location Omaha some 250 miles away. Tonight I'm where my ISP home office is located some 100 miles away.

You're right. When I fire up my VPN, I see weather for New Jersey on Wundergroun's home page.
Is there anyway to change that? Many people's ISP location is distant from their weather.
