Could you please try switching weather provider to Yahoo and send the logs
again if the problem remains? For now it seems like a Google problem.

The provider just it Yahoo.
I have tested both providers but they not get any data.

The Yahoo doesn't list these cities, so they cannot be added for now.
In the next major release we will rework this part of the code to be fail-safe.

For now I'd suggest using the closest big city

Hello
I would add more cities showing this same behavior : all cities in Switzerland !
Actualizing forever, showing the latest old data when it was still working, happens with both Google and Yahoo servers.
I tried to reinstall, including libraries and python related package. Not working all the same...Then I tried complete purge and reinstall for all packages involved - did not change the situation.

This has been affecting me for a few months... My city Scranton, PA has always had weather data... now it occasionally will not update the weather and never wants to display the forecast. When I click on forecast it states "Forecast cannot be fetched. Connection cannot be established" Although the weather icon with temp usually does display accurately sometimes it will show temp and icon from from the night before and will not update unless I change to a different city. Still after doing so it never shows the forecast. Same results with Google or Yahoo.
