The weather applet does not show information anymore. I don't know if the problem is related to the source of meteorological data or the applet, but you may take a look on this. Thanks.

It works great here.

Ok, the problem arises when you do a 

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

I am now in another country, so I did that command in order to set the time zone and the applet stop working. When I restore the time zone the applet work again. 

Try this and tell me if your applet works after the change. I think that the  time zones changes should not affect the applets. 

My original time zone: 

Bogota, Colombia --> Applet works fine

Next time zone:

Caracas, Venezuela --> Applet stop work

Restoring time zone:

Bogota, Colombia --> Applet work again

Please try this changes :)

Yes, it is known there are some problems with timezones, though I had no time to investigate yet. Especially selecting locations from another timezone doesn't work right now, you can only use localtime. I hope to improve this a bit in the next version.

For your problem, it would be useful if you could provide some debugging output so I can see what goes wrong. It's not complicated, you can find step-by-step instructions how to do this here: http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/tree/README.

This should be fixed in git master. The plugin can now work independently from system-wide timezone settings. Please try the next release (0.8.3) when it is out and reopen if it doesn't work for you.

Thanks for reporting.
