Comment 5 for bug 1539930

Hello Walter,
If you are using LXDE panel with bundled weather applet, then yes.
If yo are using Plasma widgets for KDE (plasma-widget-cwp, plasma-widget-weatherforecast), then you have similar issue with another program.

Weather applet from LXDE panel is usingyahoo api, and I have no firewall. So, issue can be somewhere.

I have to wonder if the problem I have in Kubuntu 14.04 isn't related.
Perhaps this is an API and/or server/port issue?
