Yahoo Weather API announced this...

To increase the security measure and better serving our YDN customers, weather data source will enforce OAuth 1 starting March 15, 2016. Please update your API calls with OAuth 1 enabled (via the OAuth /v1/yql end point if using YQL) using your Yahoo App key and secret.

Still getting a question mark and N/A in the tray are after installing yesterday's update. Looks like access to Yahoo API is still broken.

Interesting. All of a sudden, it works. I am getting temperature and wind readings and everything else works at it should. Was it some kind of a problem with Yahoo services a few hours ago?

@lorenzo-carbonell: thank you for taking care of this annoying issue. It looks like the Yahoo API issue has been addressed. I should note however that I now routinely get "N/A" but then after some time it changes to the normal display of temperature. I think this is probably the Yahoo weather service issue, not the my-weather-indicator-issue.
