I'm aware that Yahoo Weather uses it's own codes to determine which area to get the weather for. I want to show the weather for each user visiting my site when the page loads, but I'm having some trouble here.

My key issues here are:

  • How to get the user's geographical location (preferably city name) from the IP Address.
  • How to get the area code in Yahoo Weather for the user's city.
  • How to post the weather back to my page.

I don't really have a clue where to start here so any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

You could do this use IPInfo to get user's actual address and city.

The Yahoo Weather documentation asks you to use woeid of the city, but you can use the YQL and the Yahoo Geolocation API to get this.
