Enable the location features on your mobile device
Your Yahoo services automatically update to reflect the area you're in, so you get the most relevant weather, news, and local search results at all times. If you're not seeing local info, make sure the device, browser, or app you're using has the location feature enabled. When your location feature on your device, browser, or app is turned off, we may use other location signals such as your IP address to help personalize your experience.
