I'm coming in very late on this thread, but what location is being set 
by those folks having difficulties with the weather?

I find that if I set my location with my Lat./Long.  I don't see the 
weather, but if I set it by a major city I get some selections suggested 
and those suggestions I've chosen have worked.  Maybe not be the case 
for all but my very short test failed to find one that didn't work for 
weather if I selected one of the suggested sites.

Obviously YMMV.
