The API used by the Weather plugin has changed. This is information from a conversation about a potential alternative:

they say you need to sign up for an API key but i haven't hit anything yet that stops me when i don't have one
you can skip to the current conditions call. they say you have to provide an airport code, but you don't

We need to decide on another API to use and migrate the Weather plugin to use it.
