City's which share names causes location to not be correct

See original GitHub issue

From the comment here: https://theptrk.com/2018/07/08/weather-reports-with-curl/#comment-96

the author is saying that the location comes from the IP address (which makes sense).

navigating to that url I can see that my City and State are properly located.

But wttr.in when it gets the location information just uses the City Name in it’s look up and as a result it’s locating me in a different country where the city name is the same.

I suppose that I’ve localized and fixed the bug. It should work now. Please test. Your case was a really tricky one
