Bug Description

A couple of days ago I started having problems with my-weather-indicator; merely showing a light grey box and a question symbol on Unity panel.

I've then discovered that this is because the "weatherservice" entry in the configuration file is "openweather" and there is a problem with the API key:

http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?lat=42.3668&lon=-71.10602
Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.

So I had to change the weather service provider to Yahoo to get this nice utility working again.

In addition to solving this API key problem, the developer(s) could perhaps get this utility to try another available weather service automatically in case of such a problem in the future.

I have the same issue, used Preferences (right click on Question Mark icon) to change weather service to Yahoo to work around the problem.
