Setting Your Location
Use the Languages and Locations section of your account to set your location as well. When you set a location, it impacts weather data, movie times, Yahoo pages, and other region-specific information you're served on the Yahoo platform.
Yahoo automatically attempts to detect your location and displays this location next to the You Appear To Be In heading.
If this location is correct, click the Yes link located to the right of the location. If it's incorrect, click No, Detect Again.
You can also manually add locations using the Favorites field. Enter your desired location in the Enter Town or ZIP box and then click the Add button.
