Confirmed. I live in Seattle and had my computer's timezone set to America/Vancouver, but the gnome clock applet uses America/Los Angeles for the timezone of the Seattle location, so they didn't match and it never showed the weather in the system tray. Only once I changed the timezones to match did the weather show up properly. (Note that the pull-down window with the calendar and world map _does_ show the weather regardless, it just doesn't show up in the system tray.)

Perhaps the author did this deliberately so that only the user's home location's weather would show up in the system tray (i.e., instead of the weather for each location)? I think the right solution though is to have a check box for each location that says "show the weather for this location in the system tray". Or instead just always show the weather for the first location in the list.

I have attached a screenshot showing the two places where the timezone must match.
