If you are not running the last version (v.1.3) of Belchertown skin, it may be due to the fact that the forecast data from Darksky are no more available and that the json of these forecast data is empty.

You are right!! i didnt notice that the darksky is expired, i am still on

Belchertown Skin Version: 1.0.1, is it necessary to upgrade to use Aerius weather APIs
