I've tried and tried to get a BBC weather RSS feed that'll work for my
(Windows) Ticker without any success.

Please, does anyone have the a/the RSS URL for BBC weather that will
actually work?

Please send. :-)

Thanks
Dave In Bournemouth.

Not to worry, I did eventually cobble together a weather RSS feed.

Whatever happened to the little orange RSS icons that some sites had...

Hi John,
I'd come to the conclusion there was no one else here... Just lil ol me on
my lonesome. ;-)

Hangonamo while I run the computer with a Ticker on it.
(How many remember a company in Wales with the name Hangonamo something,
who back in the days made photographic light meters? etc.)**

The only one I was able to get working was...

https://weather-broker-cdn.api.bbci.co.uk/en/forecast/rss/3day/6296591

6296591 is the ident for Bournemouth Airport, the nearest weather station
to where I live.
