Apologies - I have not been able to work on this in the past few months, but hope to have time to fix a bunch of bugs in mid-February.

Try the following:
in /usr/share/wakeup/plugin_scripts/Weather/get_weather.py, find the following line:

url = 'http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=' + urllib2.quote(place)

And remove the urlib2.quote() around place. ie, replace the above line with

 url = 'http://xoap.weather.com/search/search?where=' + place
