Setting up my new Amazon Echo was pretty straight forward, except for one thing. After Echo was all set up, I asked her: "Alexa, what's the weather?" She then gave me the weather for...Kirkland, Washington. Which would be fine if I lived in Washington, but doesn't do me much good in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It took a little rooting around to fix this. I figured for sure it would be under Settings, and settings does have listings for Sports Update, Traffic, Calendar - but no Weather.
Well it's there, but mysteriously, to update Weather, you have to click on your Echo's name, in my case "David's Echo".
Then, it's an easy-to-change location setting. I typed in my address and zip, saved it, and Alexa now correctly reported my local weather.
