Weather worked fine for a few months, now = no Data.

Tried: Changing location to another and changed back = no joy. Deleted /.config/xfce4/panel/weather-14.rc. The app made another .rc file but still no joy.

The same thing has happened on my Linux Mint 20.04/Xfce computer.

  • As the same thing happened on a second computer, I'd check to ensure the weather data providing service/server is still there, still responding, and hasn't changed anything like their API. – KGIII Mar 04 '21 at 17:31

    Seems to be a bug with changed API - https://gitlab.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/-/issues/27 – N0rbert Mar 04 '21 at 20:19
  • FYI: there is mention on the topic right now (#xubuntu-devel on irc) *groovy* & *focal* the best place to get it fixed is most likely a bug report, so a *developer* is made aware of it, and gets prompted to start the SRU process... The API cause (grace period ending on change) can be read at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2458828 or item 6 – guiverc Mar 05 '21 at 11:40

I had the same problem with Cinnamon 19. It updated xfce so I could get any fixed packaged version of the weather update. So I downloaded the code and build it like described here

In case you get stuck, I would pass the deb package I've created for you to use.
