Met Office website glitch
« on: 12 March, 2017, 12:37:11 pm »
The website seems to have been updated recently.   When I access it from my pc, a non-mobile device, the default location is always Viwa, Fiji.   There appears no way to set a new default location.

Anybody else got this issue or know how to resolve it please?

Probably easier to move to Viwa ;D

Just bookmark the URL you are taken to after entering a location.

Maybe a rogue  cookie?
It is simpler than it looks.

Unfortunately not.  Cleared cookies and it still wants me to holiday in Viwa!   :D 

I have now done as Biggsy has suggested.
