Inkyphat weather.py no longer working

Been running this python code for months now, but after a recent software update it no longer works. Even the untouched Pimoroni original code fails now.
Anyone know what’s happening?
Here’s what I see from the original code in IDLE:-

Check the post by Sandy this thread, Inky PHAT - new location And see if it applies to your setup.

Aha, yes it is. Thank you.

I should have this fixed in the morning. I’ve re-implemented it by scraping the data straight from Dark Sky. :-)
