I think it has something to do with the weather service used. Some number of
requests can be made without having an individual API key, but after that,
you need one. A key is free for personal use... There's a link in the
extention's UI and a place to put it in the config interface.
I'm not seeing that link or the place for a key. The Settings option
opens "GNOME Shell Extension Preferences" and the Weather extension
offers options for selecting units and for what is displayed in the
panel, a place to add locations, plus an option to "debug the
extension" (which doesn't seem to indicate any errors in the logs in
~/.cache/weather-extension*.log). I don't see a place for the URL. The
gnome-weather application shows that it's getting its information from
the Norwegian Meteorological Institute at yr.no. (And the gnome-weather
application has no problem updating.)
