As of today the xfce4-weather-plugin stopped working and can't seem to fetch the weather information from the server. I remember their used to be a similar bug like this one in the past, but it was fixed in an update.

xfce4-weather-plugin:
  Installed: 0.8.6-1
  Candidate: 0.8.6-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.8.6-1 500
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Workarounds that I have already tried, but to no avail:

sudo apt-get purge xfce4-weather-plugin
sudo apt-get install xfce4-weather-plugin

Same issue here - several installations, among them:

xubuntu 10.10
xfce 4.12
xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.7

debian 8 (jessie)
xfce 4.10
xfce4-weather-plugin 0.8.3

Not Location or time-zone dependant.

You are all using old versions. Update!

Thanks Harald, I didn't that the weather-plugin was outdated since it came with the latest LTS 16.04. I can confirm that the updated weather-plugin works as expected and can be found here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-weather-plugin . Unfortunately you won't be able to obtain the latest xfce4-weather-plugin from the LTS repos, the only have the old one 0.8.6-1 on there.
