“Use my location” asks your browser for your coordinates so we can load your local forecast and any official warnings for your area. Your coordinates are used for that request only: they are not stored on our servers, sold, or used to build a profile. If your browser blocks location, we fall back to an approximate city-level lookup from your IP address.
