I visited the UK a number of months ago, and since my return, entering "http://www.weather.com" into the search bar and pressing enter continues to direct me to "http://www.uk.weather.com". I would assume my computer stored a cookie or something that makes Weather Channel think I'm still in the UK.

Thoughts on a fix W/O clearing my entire cache? I would hate to do that.

Windows 8.1
Google Chrome 35.0.1916.114 m

I find this Chrome extension handy:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/remove-cookies-for-site/lmfdblomdpkcniknaenceeogpgepocmm

Visit the site, click the cookie icon to the right of the address bar, close the tab, re-visit the site. Works for me.

Tremendous success! Thanks for the tip.

No problem!

I've tried wading through cookies, but they're all re-named to random characters. If there's any one perk to old versions of Internet Explorer, it's that you could cherry-pick your cookies for deletion. Mind you, I haven't tried that since IE 5, so...

The last time I used IE was probably IE 5.  :-D

I usually use CCleaner. You can specify which cookies to keep or delete.

Chrome also has the option to individually delete cookies.
