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.

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.
