The entry for Holešov in libgweather sources (data/Locations.xml.in) is:

        <!-- A city in the Czech Republic -->
        <_name>Holešov</_name>
        <coordinates>49.333333 17.583333</coordinates>
        <location>
          <name>Holešov</name>
          <code>LKHO</code>
          <coordinates>49.316667 17.566667</coordinates>
        </location>

The source of the data seems to be METAR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/METAR). A lookup on "LKHO" (http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=LKHO) yields:

The most recent METAR observation from LKHO in our system was generated at the source at:
2009/07/01 08:00 UTC

The observation is:
LKHO 010800Z VRB03KT CAVOK 23/17 Q1019

So this proves (not surprisingly) the data source to be the problem. The only solution would probably be to change to a different data source/add more data sources as per http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/17670/
