Bug Description
While the weather channel scope has 'Enable location data' checked in its settings, it doesn't seem to use it, at least not immediately. When I first started using the scope I had to search for my location.

I get a place nearly 150 km away from my real location, really annoying as it makes weather information in scopes useless.

I'm in south west Scotland, but the NearBy scope on my new Ubuntu phone thinks that I'm in Nottingham, England! I don't know how to change it.
I'm in South Yorkshire, the Weather Channel, NearBy and Points of Interest scopes all have me down in London 270km away.

Same here. In my case the map successfully shows the correct location, however, weather information is from some other place where I haven't ever heard the name of. Having the most prominent item in the NearBy and the Today scope showing wrong data is kinda a bummer. Also it doesn't seem to recover over time. Just keeps showing wrong information for a week now.
This seems to related to the actual position though. It works fine where I live, but doesn't work at my parent's place.
My actual position:
"Monte San Pietro, TA, Italy"
Scope shows data for:
"Montefranco, TA, Italy"
Searching for Montefranco it seems to be a place that's about 100km away, with some huge mountains in between that make the weather between the two locations differ quite a lot.
