Title: Weather Status Help
Post by: beenieman4355 on January 20, 2008, 01:00:00 AM

Hello All,
I reside in Barbados a tropical country in the Caribbean. Last year I was able to find a zip code that when entered show the weather forecast for my country. I forgot to save it and for the life of me can get a working zip to work.
Barbados is only now adopting zip codes and I was hoping someone could assist me with finding a correct one.

To my knowledge you shouldnt actually need the Zip code, unless I'm missing something.  If you go into the weather config it asks you to "Change Area Code #" but the code itself is from weather.com.  All you need is a large town somewhere near you.  Unfortunately it doesnt work for everywhere, but its pretty good (I use a town 40 miles from me).

Unfortunately I don't really know any of Barbados well enough to help any more than than.  I searched for bridgetown and it gets found easily enough, but I cant check any more for you.  Just take a guess for the best area - you obviously know where you live (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
